1 Nephi 11:3

3  And I said: I desire to behold the things which my father asaw.
            -this is a perfect illustration of how righteousness and spiritual endowments are passed from one generation to the next.  Nephi wants to measure up to the goodness of his father.  Which he does.  In fact, an argument can be made that Nephi surpasses Lehi over the course of his life.  But at a young age it was imperative that a son saw the foundation laid by his father and launched off of it.  How many fathers fall short of offering such a priceless blessing to their children?  Have I provided this for my son?
