47 And after that 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 that after I had prayed unto the Lord, 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 beheld that it was most sweet above all that I ever had 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 desirous above all other fruit.
54 "And as I cast my eyes round about that perhaps I might discover my family also - And I beheld a river of water, And it ran along and it was near the tree of which I was partaking the fruit;
55 And I looked to behold from whence it came and I saw the head thereof a little way off;
56 And at the head thereof I beheld your mother Sariah and Sam and Nephi; And they stood as if they knew not whither they should go.
57 "And it came to pass that I beckoned unto them, And I also did say unto them with a loud voice that they should come unto me and partake of the fruit which was desirable above all other fruit.
