1 Nephi 3:8 - "And it came to pass that when my father had heard these words he was exceedingly glad, for he knew that I had been blessed of the Lord."
President Henry B. Eyring - "He was glad because he knew that Nephi had been blessed with confirming revelation that his father’s dream was a true communication from God. Nephi did not say, 'I will go and do what my father told me to do.' Rather he said, 'I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded.' From your experience in your own families, you also know why Lehi was 'exceedingly glad.' His joy came from knowing that Nephi had received confirming revelation. Many parents have set family rules for when a teenage child is to return home at night. But think of the joy when the parent learns, as one did just a few weeks ago, that a child who had recently left home not only set a curfew for herself but also kept the Sabbath just as she had been taught at home. The revelation of a parent has its lasting effect in the personal revelation that continues in the child."
