43 But behold, Laman and Lemuel, I fear exceedingly because of you; for behold, methought I saw in my dream a dark and dreary wilderness.

44 And it came to pass that I saw a man, and he was dressed in a white robe; and he came and stood before me.

45 And it came to pass that he spake unto me, and bade me follow him.

46 And it came to pass that as I followed him, I beheld myself that I was in a dark and dreary waste.

47 And after I had traveled for the space of many hours in darkness I began to pray unto the Lord, that he would have mercy on me according to the multitude of his tender mercies.

48 And it came to pass after I had prayed unto the Lord, I beheld a large and spacious field.

49 And it came to pass that I beheld a tree, whose fruit was desirable to make one happy.

50 And it came to pass that I did go forth and partake of the fruit thereof; and I beheld that it was most sweet above all that I ever before tasted.

51 Yea, and I beheld that the fruit thereof was white, to exceed all the whiteness that I had ever seen.

52 And as I partook of the fruit thereof, it filled my soul with exceeding great joy;

53 Wherefore I began to be desirous that my family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was desirable above all other fruit.
