The Tree of Life.
Lehi’s inspired dream.
One night, Lehi had a
dream from the Lord.
He told his family about the dream.
In his dream, Lehi saw
a man in a white robe.
The man told Lehi to follow him.
Lehi saw that he was in
a dark and empty place.
He walked for many hours. But
the darkness did not go away.
Finally, Lehi prayed for help.
When Lehi finished
praying, he saw a large field.
In that field was a
tree with white fruit.
Lehi thought the fruit would
make him happy, so he ate it.
His soul was filled with joy. The fruit
tasted better than any other fruit.
It was sweet and delicious. Lehi
wanted to share it with his family.
He knew it would make them happy too.
Lehi saw Sariah, Sam, and Nephi
standing by a river. They looked lost.
Lehi called to them in a loud voice. He
asked them to come and eat the fruit.
Sariah, Sam, and Nephi came
to the tree and ate the fruit.
Lehi looked for Laman and Lemuel.
He wanted them to enjoy the fruit too.
But they would not
come to eat the fruit.
Then Lehi saw a path with an
iron rod that led to the tree.
He saw many people walking on the
path. Suddenly, a thick darkness came.
The darkness made it hard to see.
The only way to get to the
tree was to hold on to the iron rod.
Some people left the path and got lost.
Others held on to the iron
rod and moved forward.
When they got to the
tree, they ate the fruit.
Lehi looked up and saw a large
building filled with lots of people.
They made fun of the
people who ate the fruit.
Some who ate the fruit felt
bad when others laughed at them, so they left the tree. They
wandered away and got lost.
In his dream, Lehi saw more people
who held on tight to the iron rod.
They moved forward step by
step until they came to the tree.
Then they knelt at the
tree and ate the fruit.
They did not listen to
the people in the building. They chose to stay at the tree.
When Lehi woke up, he was
worried about Laman and Lemuel.
They did not eat the fruit in his
dream. Lehi loved Laman and Lemuel.
He hoped they would
stay close to the Lord.
He invited them to
keep God’s commandments.
