Keep the commandments and exhort others to do the same

There is a major theme in 1 Nephi about keeping the commandments and how doing so will only bring blessings. Blessings like prosperity, things working out, etc. 

Also there is a verse that talks about inviting others to keep them too: 

1 Nephi 17:15 "Wherefore, I, Nephi, did strive to keep the commandments of the Lord, and I did exhort my brethren to faithfulness and diligence."

The footnotes are especially insightful. They talk about exhorting wth diligence and authority. That idea reminds me of what my stake president, President Cutler, says to his high councilman, that they should not be embarrassed to teach others and train them in the way of the gospel. To teach without reservation.

Right now Jessie and Mark are having a hard time. I wonder how we can help them and if we can use this verse. Look up the footnotes!
