What I love reading about right now in the book of Nephi are all the good qualities of his character that show throughout the reading I've done so far. He is humble, stating to the Lord when he has visions that he does not know all things. He is hungry for the word of the Lord, he desires to see all that his father saw. And he is granted that by showing that he has faith that all his father prophesied of is true. I'm sure the Lord knew that Nephi didn't have to see his father's visions in order to believe him. He was given the opportunity to see them because of his great faith.
I also feel bad for Lehi. He preaches to Laman and Lemuel so much because it hurts him as a parent to see his children stray. I'm sure it's such a trial for him and his heart is heavy when he learns that they won't believe the word of the Lord. I'm sure any parent who has had children who go astray know exactly what Lehi is feeling.
