A boat filled with tired missionaries and a storm: the beginnings of one of the grandest faith-promoting scripture stories of all time.

That’s kind of what happened to Nephi when he returned from preaching in a different land. But instead of coming back to a dirty home, Nephi came back to find the Nephites had turned to chaos and wickedness.
