Headed to the Promised Land

Lehi and his family had traveled thru the wilderness for a very long time. One day, God told Nephi to go up to the mountian. When Nephi had made it up in the mountian, God told him he wanted Nephi to build a ship. Nephi didn't know how to build a ship so God showed him how.
Nephi was going to need some tools for building the ship. God showed Nephi how to get ore out of the rocks by placing them in a hot fire and melting the ore out of them. Nephi used the ore to make the tools.
Laman and Lemuel didn't want to help Nephi and said bad things about him. This was a bad idea! God gave protection to Nephi from his brothers. Everytime one of his brothers tried to hurt Nephi, they felt a big shock. The shock reminded Laman and Lemuel that God was in charge and then they decided to help Nephi with the ship.
When the ship was finished, Lehi, Sariah and their families went aboard the boat headed toward the promise land. While on the boat, Laman and Lemual and their wives began being bad. They decided to tie Nephi up so they wouldn't have to listen to him anymore. Since they were being bad, the Liahona that was giving them direction, stopped working. God sent a terrible storm and everyone was afraid. After quite some time, Laman and Lemuel finally decided they needed to be good and untied Nephi. Nephi prayed to God for the storm to stop and all would be safe. The storm stopped and the liahona started working again.
When Lehi's family finally arrived at the promised land, they thanked God. They planted seeds that they had brought with them and started their new life.

The boys made a picture of Nephi getting ore out of the rocks.

We melted ore (chocolate chips) and put it in a tool mold to form a hammer and saw.

We used a mini greenhouse to plant seeds like Lehi's family did when they got to the Promised Land.

They boys finger painted a picture of Lehi's family on a boat in the ocean.

We colored on paper boats and made Nephi Banana Boats!

We also talked about how it feels when we get shocked! I was going to have the boys hammer nail in to a block of wood but didn't get to it.

Questions:
Do you think Nephi was afraid when God spoke to him?
Is there another story you know about building a big boat?
Why do you think God choose Nephi to build the boat?
What do you think it would be like to be in the middle of the ocean for a really long time?
What did Laman and Lemuel do to Nephi while they were on the ship? What happened?
