Companion: Elder Sae-Dan

Hello People of the World,

After much consideration, I am come to tell you that my week with pretty quiet. Not much actually happened. 

I did learn a thing or two about the Spirit though. We had a member call us and asked if we could met him, we agreed. Why wouldn't we? He had questions about how the Holy Ghost was. We shared these scriptures: 

    8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.

 9 But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me.

      12 Wherefore, all things which are good cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil; for the devil is an enemy unto God, and fighteth against him continually, and inviteth and enticeth to sin, and to do that which is evil continually.

He was intrigued and wanted to know why he could pray and pray and pray and not get an answer. We pointed at the first scripture, and added one more:

      Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.

He thanked us for our time and then departed. 

I also was able to read from Acts 10-11 recently about how Peter followed the Spirit to know that it was time to speak to those of other nations. 

I am still enjoying my mission, and I can't wait to see everyone soon.
