Why did Lehi “continually exhort” Laman and Lemuel, even when they would not listen?

Thomas R. Valletta

Elder Robert D. Hales taught: “Lehi did not lose the blessing of feasting at the tree of life because Laman and Lemuel refused to partake of its fruit. Sometimes as parents we feel we have failed when our children make mistakes or stray. Parents are never failures when they do their best to love, teach, pray, and care for their children. Their faith, prayers, and efforts will be consecrated to the good of their children” (“With All the Feeling of a Tender Parent,” 88).
