The Gift of the Holy Ghost

The Holy Ghost is a member of the God Head who is a spirit. He gives instruction to man kind and teaches us the will of the Lord. We are worthy of his influence when we keep the commandments and strive to glorify God. He fills us with hope, light, and goodness. He lest us know what God and Christ want us to do and leads us down the path of righteousness. He helped Jesus apostles after his death to know where they were needed and how to spread the word of God. Without it, they would have been lost. The Holy Ghost has been with man since Adam and is still her today. He draw us closer to God, and is a spirit of revelation and truth.
I taught the Young women in my ward for a time. The girls where so sweet and always wanted to talk… they talked a lot! So much I constantly had to tell them to stop and stay on track. So I pondered ways to help them concentrate and came up with lesson journals. They where simple notebooks I decorated with scrap book paper and ribbon, then I put their names on them. I started our lesson the next week describing the importance of remembering things the Holy Ghost prompts us about and how we should write them down. I gave them each a journal and said I would keep them so we could use them in class, they could write down the lesson, date, and any impressions they felt during the lesson. It was amazing how much better they could concentrate! I let them take the journals during conference so they could use them and then we were able to talk about the things they wrote the next week. It was a great way to keep the lessons on track and keep the girls focused with out me getting frustrated at their talking or having to get on to anyone during the lesson. Then they had fun listening to the lessons so they could write things down and use them for future talks or spiritual thoughts. I’m grateful for the prompting of the Holy Ghost that helped me to calm my class in an uplifting way.
