God "is mightier that all the earth." He can  protect us and keep things from coming our way and make things come our way. So if we are "faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord" He will bless us and protect us. Trust in God.
being "let by the spirit not knowing beforehand the things which I should do." Being a missionary is a lot like that, going out into the mission field and not knowing exactly what the Lord wanted you to do but being able to follow the Spirit. As we live worthy of it and of God's guidance and help it will make life easier. Nephi spoke to Laban's servant as if he was Laban, that is an amazing miracle. Just think about it, Laban is a ruler and so much older then Nephi so he probably had a much deeper voice and older sounding voice so if Nephi would have just went in with his own voice he wouldn't have been able to accomplish the things he did.
Blessing: That I am able to date Aaron. He is such an amazing man.

Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
