Before Jesus left the Nephites and the Lamanites, they were just the Nephites. They had  decided to all live together. And they agreed to share almost everything, including their name. They shared food and water. They shared money and toys. They shared homes and cities. They even shared toothpaste. But they did not share their toothbrushes, because that would be gross. 

And all this sharing was wonderful because no one went hungry. No one had bad breath. No one felt alone. No one was better than anyone else, except Jesus. He was better. But it didn’t really matter because everyone loved Jesus. And Jesus loved everyone.  

He enjoyed breaking bread and eating bread and just being with the Nephites. But Jesus had a terrible secret. And before He left for good, He had to tell someone. And so He chose twelve people and called them disciples because they would become the spiritual leaders after He was gone.
