1 Nephi 16: 17-33

Here we read the account of when Nephi broke his bow.  I always found this interesting, because the whole family gets upset about it, but Lamen and Lemuels' bows had already broken...why was it so devastating when Nephi broke his? Was his special? Or was it because his was the last working one?!  Why couldn't they figure out how to fix their bows...Nephi was the only one who figured out a solution to the problem.  I think I do this sometimes...I get very discouraged when one thing does not go the way it should.  And then I think the world is over and there is no hope!  Nephi teaches here that there is always a way!  We just have to find it. We have to figure out the solution!  And the Lord will bless us everytime!
