The Savior’s Instructions about the Holy Ghost

• Disciples of Jesus Christ must keep the commandments to keep the Holy Ghost. 
• If the Holy Ghost is present, he can teach you ALL things and bring all things to your remembrance.
• The Holy Ghost will also testify of Heavenly Father. When he does this we are also expected to testify of our Father in Heaven. 
• The Holy Ghost will reprove the world of its sin calling all to repent
• The Holy Spirit will guide disciples of Christ to truth and lead you to glorify the Father in Heaven. 
• We have to believe in the Holy Ghost in order to have his presence
• We have to live a righteous life
• After the Savior returned to Heavenly Father, the Apostles were left alone, but because they led good and righteous lives, they were able to have the Holy Ghost with them. 
• I think a time in my life where I have felt the Spirit the strongest was when I was in labor with my daughter. I had a long(ish) labor of 28 hours with 2 hours of pushing. At about 24 hours, my epidural gave out and I was in a lot of pain, but I just began to pray to Heavenly Father to send me comfort and I instantly felt safe and loved. After that moment, I felt the Holy Ghost wrap himself around me and my daughter. The birth of my daughter was an incredibly moving and spiritual experience for me and my husband. 

The Savior Taught the Apostles About Leadership

In the world today, leaders are often seen as people who dictate without love and are not expected to serve others. John 13:1-17 introduces us to the idea of Christ-Like leadership. This is the story of Christ washing his disciples feet. He was giving them love and service, which is exactly how our Church should run. Applying this teaching of Christ washing his disciples feet shows that we are all equals, put on this earth to serve one another. I think it really warns against pride within our leaders and reinforces the idea that our leaders should serve us. 

I watched our Bishop take all of the young men and abled bodied men out of the Church meetings and start building barriers around homes during a really intense flood. It was my favorite thing to see him working along side the other workers. It was wonderful to see that kind of Christ-like leadership within my ward, especially as a new convert.
