"And what is the name, father dear?" asked Nephi's wife, a daughter of Ishmael. "Bountiful," Lehi answered. "The proper name!" they all shouted in chorus. So the place was given the name Bountiful. After Lehi and his people had rested for a short time, they began to travel again. Nephi and Sam--they were always together--rode ahead of the company. On reaching the top of a high hill they stopped suddenly. They sat gazing for a few moments at the scene before them. Then they turned and started at a quick pace for the rest of the party. "What can be the matter?" Lehi asked, as he saw his two sons coming back. As Nephi and Sam came near the party, Nephi put his hand to his mouth and shouted as loudly as he could, "The great waters! The great waters!" On hearing that, every one in the company became excited, and all hurried forward to get a look at the mighty ocean. What strange feelings came into the hearts of Lehi and his followers as they looked out upon the sea. How were they to cross such a large body of water? Just then Laman spoke. "It seems to me," said he, "that it is now time for us to turn and go back home. I have felt from the day we started that we would have to turn back some time. That time has come at last." "And I have felt from the day we started," said Nephi, in a calm but firm voice, "that we would never go back to our old home again. I know that God is in heaven. I know He led the children of Israel through the Red Sea and I know that He can and will carry us across these mighty waters." On hearing that, Laman and Lemuel and some of the sons and daughters of Ishmael began to laugh and to make fun of Nephi. "So you think God is going to come down out of heaven and carry us in His arms across this great ocean," said Lemuel, "and set us down in a wonderful country on the other side." "No," said Nephi, "I do not think anything of the kind. But I do believe He will tell us how we can cross these waters." Then Lehi, their father, spoke. "My sons," he said, "do not get angry with each other. Remember you are brothers. Remember, also, Laman, that the Lord can do great things. He made this world in which we live. Surely, then, He can help us to get to the other side of this ocean. Now, let me tell you what I want you and the rest of the company to do: I want you to gather all the fruit and honey you can. We must collect a big supply, for it will be many days before we get to the new country." "So you think we shall get across these great waters?" said Laman to his father. "I am sure we will," said Lehi. "Now, let us get to work." All day long they gathered choice fruit and honey, and when the evening came they sat down and looked with great satisfaction upon the labors of their hands.
