Tyler and Jake (Priest and Deacon) and Carter (Priest) after being ordained with Dads and Grands

I watched a documentary on how Lehi and family may have traveled from Jerusalem to the land  Bountiful where Nephi built a ship.  In it they talk of how Nephi probably had been in training with a metal smith.  How else would he know how to make the plates, how else would he know what kind of ore to use for making tools?It kind of answered some questions I've had over the years.  If Nephi was so young, How did he fit into Laban's clothes and impersonate him (besides the blessing of the Lord so he could accomplish his task) Nephi does say that he was "large in stature" .  So look at Tyler and Carter.  Both are 15 - Jake is 11.  Ty and Jake are both taller than their grandfathers.  Carter is taller than his dad.  Carter is in football and has been trying to bulk up.  Ty plays soccer. Both could very well be like Nephi and do a man's job.  And after the years in the wilderness, making and breaking camps, Tucker could very well be as the man Nephi who built the boat under God's direction.
