Grandma and I wrote letters once and a while back and forth when I was about 13. She relayed to me that her favorite story was the Brother of Jared when he asked to see the Lord's finger.
Mahonri or the Brother of Jared was then instructed to build "barges" or boats to journey across the sea. After building the boats, Mahonri worried about how the insides of the boats would be lit during their The Lord told Mahonri he should figure out a way to light the boats, and so the Brother of Jared produced sixteen stones from molten rock, two for each ship, and they were white and clear, just like transparent glass.
Mahonri then asked the Lord to touch each stone he had made so they would shine in the darkness.
The Lord touched each stone with his finger. Mahonri watched as the Lord did this and fell to the ground in fear. Mahonri was to write down what he saw in his own language, which no one would understand, and his record would be revealed after Christ had been lifted upon the cross. (When Mosiah interpreted the account, he was instructed that these things were not to be revealed until after his people had been visited by Christ.)
