1 Nephi 17:2

And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us,

that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness,

our women did give plenty of suck for their children, and were strong,

yea, even like unto the men;

and they began to bear their journeyings without murmurings.

1 Nephi 17:17

And when my brethren saw that I was about to build a ship,

they began to murmur against me, saying:

Our brother is a fool,

for he thinketh that he can build a ship;

yea, and he also thinketh that he can cross these great waters.

1 Nephi 18:9

And after we had been driven forth before the wind

for the space of many days,

behold, my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and also their wives

began to make themselves merry,

insomuch that they began to dance, and to sing,

and to speak with much rudeness,

yea, even that they did forget by what power they had been brought thither;

yea, they were lifted up unto exceeding rudeness.

1 Nephi 18:13

Wherefore, they knew not whither they should steer the ship,

insomuch that there arose a great storm,

yea, a great and terrible tempest,

and we were driven back upon the waters for the space of three days;

and they began to be frightened exceedingly

lest they should be drowned in the sea;

nevertheless they did not loose me.
