But I'm afraid for Laman and Lemuel, for in my dream, I saw them in a dark, dreary wilderness.

In my dream, a man dressed in a white robe came and stood before me. He told me to follow him. I followed but soon found myself in a dark, dreary wasteland.

After walking in this darkness for what seemed to be many hours, I began to pray to the Lord to have mercy on me according to His great and tender mercy.

After praying I came out of the darkness into a large, wide field. In this field, I saw a tree.

The Spirit told me the tree bore a fruit that could make one very happy, so I walked to the tree and ate of its fruit. It was sweeter than anything I had ever tasted, and whiter than anything I had ever before seen.

As Late, my soul was filled with great joy, and I wanted my family to come and taste it also, for I knew it was the best fruit of all.

Looking around for my family, I saw a river running near the tree. I looked upstream to see from where it flowed, and I saw a fountain as its source. Near the fountain were your mother Sariah, Sam and Nephi, wondering which way to go.

I cried out to them, 'Come over here and taste this wonderful fruit,’ and they came, ate the fruit, and were also filled with joy.

Again, I looked to the source of the river, hoping to see Laman and Lemuel. I saw them near the fountain and called out to them, but they would not come to eat the fruit.
