1 And it came to pass that we did again take our journey in the wilderness; and we did travel nearly eastward from that time forth. And we did travel and awade through much affliction in the wilderness; and our bwomen did bear children in the wilderness.
2 And so great were the ablessings of the Lord upon us, that while we did live upon braw cmeat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of suck for their children, and were strong, yea, even like unto the men; and they began to bear their journeyings without murmurings.(I love this! Most people would look at eating RAW meat as a serious trial. And even though Nephi does recognize that they did have much affliction--they had GREAT blessings. That even though they did live on raw meat, their women were blessed with much food for their children ane they were given much strength. I am 6 months pregnant right now, and I know it would be a hard thing to travel or WALK in the wilderness for who knows how long...so I can tell that Nephi really does recognize the hand of the Lord in their lives!)
3 And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled. And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and astrengthenthem, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; wherefore, he did bprovide means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness.(Such a great testimony of Nephi!!!!)
