Read: The Hand of the Lord

When you hear something you do not understand, consider writing it down and finding out what it means. Practice using it.

Build a ship and cross an ocean? The Lord gave Nephi this commandment. Nephi was a prophet in the Book of Mormon. What did Nephi know about building a ship? We don’t know but it probably was not much. He likely felt overwhelmed. Nephi’s own brothers doubted Nephi’s ability. (1 Nephi 17:17-18). But as always, the Lord helped them. He told Nephi, “Thou shalt construct a ship, after the manner which I shall show thee, that I may carry thy people across these waters” (1 Nephi 17:8).

Like Nephi, you have probably felt the hand of the Lord in your life. You have overcome challenges in your life. He has helped you in the past. He will help you learn English. (This is another huge challenge!) Heavenly father will help you. You can learn English faster as you do the following:

Believe in your divine potential

Understand God’s vision for your life

Act in faith

Seek the gifts of the Spirit
