Story of missionaries, HT, YW impressed to stay home.

How do missionaries know to stop by the house of someone who has prayed? They are guided by influence of holy ghost. Members of church are guided by the spirit. Each person can recognize spirti. We can learn better by listening to other's testimonies, and be in a good environment. We have to help other people understand, especially our children: classroom, home, missionary discussion. Spirit of Christ is for everyone, constant companionship of HG is only for worthy members.

Spirit doesn't dwell in unholy temples, let virtue garnish our thoughts. Prophets teach that god will tell us in heart and mind, HG will dwell in ourhearts. Peace, hope, joy, light. It feels like sunshine.

It's not always easy to discern them at first. Sometimes you can be baptized with fire and the HG and know it not. We need to share our experiences. There are some that are too sacred to relate. However, we need to share what we can to help others. She waited to feel different when she got baptized and confirmed: she felt no different. It wasn't until the day after at F&T, when she heard someone's testimony, she felt a flood of warmth. Peace, distinct feeling of HF being pleased.

Some places are easier to feel the spirit: temples, church. We need to produce environment at home and church where the spirit is comfortable. Spirit is a still smal voice. We need quiet in our lives. Be still and know that I am god. Still time each day to feel spirit, away from technology. Technology apparently blocks the spirit.

Environment at church. Leaders do more than teach: they facilitate whisperings of spirit to each memeber. Help them recognize and get spirit. Spirit feels like being wrapped in a blanket. Less actives will be inspired by these lessons. Let's get our less actives back to church. When we understand whisperings, we will be able to hear, and know what we should do. We will know how to live the gospel. We will be guided and protected. We will feel HG witness to us.

God lives, loves us, knows us, hears us, answers us. Christ is savior, atone-er. Testimony is firm because of HG.
