Women in the Wilderness.
Walking with the Lord.
Ishmael’s daughters traveled with
their family in the wilderness.
The journey was hard. After some time, they married the sons of Lehi
and Sariah. One day, Ishmael died.
His daughters were very
sad. They missed their father.
The daughters worried that they
and their families would also die in the wilderness. They were
upset with Lehi and Nephi, and they wanted to go
back home to Jerusalem.
The voice of the Lord spoke to
Ishmael’s daughters and their families. They repented, and
the Lord blessed them.
The women had babies in the wilderness.
Sariah also had two
more sons, Jacob and Joseph.
The Lord helped the
women on their journey.
He blessed them with
plenty of milk for their babies.
He helped the women
become stronger as they traveled.
The Lord said that He was leading
the daughters and their families to a promised land. The Lord promised the families that they would have
all that they needed as they traveled.
He made the food they hunted
good to eat, and He guided them.
After eight years in the wilderness,
the families reached the sea.
The women rejoiced with their families.
The land by the sea was beautiful.
They called it Bountiful because
it was full of fruit and honey to eat.
The Lord had prepared
all of it for them.
