Sojourn

“Taken together, it seems reasonable that the years spent by Lehi and his family in crossing the desert were characterized by the not uncommon practice "in times of scarcity" of "the bargaining away of freedom-or part of it-in return for food. “Whether the "enemies" (Alma 9:10), the escape from destruction "in battle" (Alma 9:22), and the "bondage and captivity" (Alma 36:29) had to do with a single experience with desert dwellers is impossible to determine. Whatever the case, Nephi's choice of the term to sojourn-also an Old Testament term commonly denoting servanthood-when combined with Lehi's remarks and the chapters chosen from Isaiah, most likely points to a period of servitude and conflict during the desert journey.” S.

Resilient

Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress — such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems or workplace and financial stressors. It means "bouncing back" from difficult experiences.
Research has shown that resilience is ordinary, not extraordinary. People commonly demonstrate resilience. One example is the response of many Americans to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and individuals' efforts to rebuild their lives.
Being resilient does not mean that a person doesn't experience difficulty or distress. Emotional pain and sadness are common in people who have suffered major adversity or trauma in their lives. In fact, the road to resilience is likely to involve considerable emotional distress.
Resilience is not a trait that people either have or do not have. It involves behaviors, thoughts and actions that can be learned and developed in anyone.
