The Holy Ghost gives us courage to do hard things
For my 8th birthday I went to Alabama to see my Grandma and Grandpa Johnson who were serving as a Mission President. I got special permission to be baptized there in a little river. I went to church the next day in Alabama. It was Fast and Testimony Meeting. I was prompted by the spirit to bear my testimony, which I quickly followed without even being nervous. I can’t remember what I said, but after the meeting a lot of people told me that I did a good job. It was then that I realized I didn’t recognize these people and that I was in a different ward. I know that if we follow the prompting of the Holy Ghost then we will be blessed – like I was able to have the courage to bear my testimony in an unfamiliar ward.
When I was 10 years old I went with my mom, dad, and Hannah to visit my Grandma Georgia and Grandpa Bruce who were serving a mission in Connecticut. We went to Boston and my Grandma gave me some pass along cards to give to people that we meet. I was determined to give at least one to one person. When we were looking for a cemetery we asked for directions. Before she left I tried to give her a pass a long card but she didn’t see me and knocked it out of my hand. She then noticed me and I picked the card up and handed it to her. She was very nice and grateful. I felt good for doing the right thing even though it was hard. I know that the Holy Ghost helped me once again to have courage to give a pass along card to someone that I didn’t even know.
