Questions?

1 Nephi 4: 6-76 And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing

beforehand the things which I should do. 7 Nevertheless I went forth, and as I came near

unto the house of Laban I beheld a man, and he had fallen to the earth before me, for he was drunken with wine.

Why was Nephi able to go forward despite not knowing what he should do?

How can we exercise similar faith as you do temple and family history work?
