2 Nephi 25-30

These five chapters are all prophesies of Nephi. I could pick a lot of things apart and discuss soo much, but what really impressed me with these chapters that I haven't necessarily picked up on before was the fact that Nephi was a prophet. Okay, that sounds sooo stupid, but I just love seeing that he is a prophet not just because of prophesies he makes, but the leader he is. He was a king and leader for his people. Today, President Monson isn't our king, but he is definitely our leader. He has all the same gifts that Nephi and other ancient prophets had. Sometimes it's easy in the church to pay more attention to ancient and dead prophets rather than our prophets today. With General Conference coming up this weekend, I am really excited to hear from our prophets. I want to be more dedicated in my listening and application of the principles that they teach us. Yay for prophets, yay for General Conference!
