The Unexpected Chapters
- Chapters 17, 18, and 19 of 3 Nephi were not originally intended by Jesus.
- They serve as a demonstration of the gathering of Israel, a lesson the Nephites were too overwhelmed to understand initially.
Overwhelm and Understanding
- When spiritually overwhelmed, go home, ponder, pray, and prepare.
- Persist in returning to the source of overwhelm for deeper understanding.

- The Nephites, overwhelmed yet yearning for more, couldn't ask Jesus to stay.
- Similar to Mary Magdalene, Jesus prioritized their needs, delaying His return to the Father.
