  1. “I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.”*

  2. Thank you, David. That promise isn’t just for prophets with dramatic, dangerous missions. It’s for every one of us and for every single commandment.

  3. Later that week at school …

    Dave, you lucky dog—you get to write my history report for me. Have it ready Friday morning.

    I won’t do it, Spike.

  4. Here are five good reasons why you will!

    Spike, some people think you’re stupid just because you’re big. Maybe you’ve even started believing it yourself. But I know better.

  5. You do?

    I know that you can do the report yourself and do it well. But if you could use some help, I’m your man. My place at six?

    OK, but this had better work.

  6. Wow, talk about dramatic and dangerous! But you went and did, just like Nephi!

    Not unless Nephi was so scared that he swallowed his jawbreaker!
