1 Nephi 9:1

1  AND all these things did my father see, and hear, and speak, as he dwelt in a tent, in the avalley of Lemuel, and also a great many more things, which cannot be written upon these plates.
            -the time spent in the valley of Lemuel was a prolific period of “seeing, hearing and speaking” the revelations of God.  This was a spiritually fruitful time but it was also a physically challengeing time.  This was not a place of ease and comfort (compared to the previous life in Jerusalem or the coming stay in Bountiful).  Life is often defined by these contrasts:  we discover wisdom, truth and a closeness with God in our depraved and challenged conditions.

      “great many more”
            -how much?  What of and about?
