Guided By the Holy Ghost

     I hope everyone is well and that you all had a wonderful week. This last week was a little interesting. My companion had to do a lot of interviews so i was left in the area with a priest from the branch i serve in right now which was really fun. one day we decided that we didnt want to pay for a taxi so we walked to our next appointment 2 kilometers away. i said it would take us 40 minutes to get there and my comp said it would take 30. so we walked and walked and walked and made it in 30 minutes time. just so you know how big my area is and our only mode of transportation, our feet.
     This week i found myself in many situations where i needed the spirit of the Lord with me. Had I not had the Spirit, i would not have been able to teach as effectively as i did. Many times we find ourselves wondering how we can obtain the spirit in our lives or how we know he is guiding us. many times i ask myself the same question. but i always remember a talk that i heard once by Elder Bednar, that if we are obedient and follow the commandments the best we can, we are worthy of the direction of the spirit.
     I testify that if we do all we can to be obedient we will be found worthy of the direction of the Holy Ghost and the happiness that comes with his presence. Study the scriptures, pray daily, and go to church. without these 3 essential parts of our lives we can in no way find spiritual guidance. If we seek, we shall find. Obedience and diligence brings happiness, no matter how difficult it is or no matter the trial. Keep fighting for whats right and seek the spirits direction in your lives. I love you all and hope you have a great week!
