3 And it mattereth not to me that I am particular to give a full account of all the things of my father, for they cannot be written upon these plates, for I desire the room that I may write of the things of God.
4 For the fulness of mine intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and be saved.
I get the feeling that Nephi wants to move forward rather than retell his father's spiritual experiences and prophecies. He is very focused as to the purpose of the plates and does not want to be distracted. His whole purose in keeping this record is conversion. He is doing this to bring people to Christ.
