Let the Holy Spirit Guide

The best gift I've ever been given is: The Holy Ghost. It took me a log time to realize the importance of the Holy Ghost, but now that I recognize it's presence in my life everyday, I can't imagine not having it! This video is a great about explaining the Holy Ghost!

Fix It!

The other day we experienced an unfortunate event. Our toilet went on holiday. You can only imagine 4 Sister Missionaries living in a house with no use of a toilet. It was Man vs. Wild missionary style. With the absence of a working Toilet in our house we had to resort to using the toilet located just down the street at your local home grocer Wegman's. Not gonna lie, it wasn't that bad. In fact, we were lucky we had a Wegmans and didn't have to resort to the gas station on the opposite corner.

During the absence of our Toilet we had to call in for back-up. We started by calling people from our office, our church congregation, even our neighbors. No one seemed to be answering their phones (I don't blame them... this is toilets we're working with here). Finally, someone came to help us out, but it wasn't long before we realized we'd need more than 3 plungers and some Mega Man power. We'd have to turn to someone who had the proper tools, so we resorted to having someone from Rochester drive all the way out at 9pm at night in order to fix our now Journal worthy Toilet.

It wasn't long before our toilet came back from Holiday and our field trips to Wegman's became an adventure of the past. How many times have we been stuck in a situation where no matter what we do ourselves we need to rely on someone who knows how to fix it to help us out? Not often enough. To be honest people in today's society are all about getting it done by yourself with no help from anyone else. Sometimes this can be good, we are able to do a lot of things on our own. However, when we find oursleves needing help... all we need to do is ask, and to ask the right person.

A lot of times this person is our Heavenly Father. We go through trials and we think "I don't need God, I can do this by myself" but who knows you better than the person who created you? He is there to help us with those tools that no one else carries. He loves us and he doesn't want to see us having to beat around the bush trying to solve a problem. All you have to do is just ask for help. He's there and he's listening. In other words, why go to Wegman's to use the bathroom when you can fix the toilet and use it now.
