Sariah, The Lord has spoken unto me. It is not meet to take my family into the wilderness alone;

but that my sons should take daughters to wife,

that they might raise up seed unto the Lord in the land of promise. I will gather our sons. And as a family, we can thank the Lord for answering my prayers as well.

And we shall take daughters to wife, that we might raise up children... Unto the Lord, in the land of promise. Yes! But a wife! And a family!

Ishmael!

Laman? We did not expect to ever see you again.

Where are Lehi and Sariah? Ishmael, our father sends us with a message. We must speak with you. Of course. Come, sit.

We doubted our father's vision for a time, but in our journey to get the plates, we saw an angel. As bright as the sun at noonday in the cave where we stood.

Our father was shown that Jerusalem will be destroyed ... That many shall perish by the sword, and many more carried away captive into Babylon. The Lord desires that the House of Ishmael join with the house of Lehi in the wilderness ... To journey to a land of promise that He has prepared for us.

The Lord wishes that I and my family go with Lehi and his family to the wilderness? Yes.

We know that Lehi is a faithful man. Do we not also believe what he has taught, and the words of all the prophets?

Father Ishmael, our two families are a branch of the House of Israel. The Lord desires that our families unite, that we might inherit the land of promise.

Come with us.

Let us ask the Lord.
