Book of Mormon Haiku -1st Nephi 18

Great was the soreness

Praises to God, four days long

There was a great calm


1 Nephi 18 - The ship is finished; The births of Jacob and Joseph are mentioned; The company embarks for the promised land; The sons of Ishmael and their wives join in revelry and rebellion; Nephi is bound, and the ship is driven back by a terrible tempest; Nephi is freed, and by his prayer the storm ceases; They arrive in the promised land.

Being teachable, being humble, knowing your place in God's eternal perspective, sensing the unspeakable greatness of the Almighty--this is the beginning of patience, obedience, faith, hope, and charity.
