For many of them, after having suffered much loss and so many afflictions, began to be stirred up in remembrance of the words which Aaron and his brethren had preached to them in their land; therefore they began to disbelieve the traditions of their fathers, and to believe in the Lord, and that he gave great power unto the Nephites; and thus there were many of them converted in the wilderness.
The purpose of afflictions is not to punish us but to stir us up to remember God. When we let them work in us the way God intends them to work, afflictions are marvelous blessings that bring us to God and enrich our relationship with him. His goal is not to make us comfortable but to make us joint-heirs with Christ.
