Every time I have ever seen success in sharing the gospel it has been by the power of God, which is given through the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is a comforter, teacher, and testifier of the truth, and he helps us stay on the path back to God.
As a missionary there are many times that I can see evidences of the Holy Ghost working in my life. One such moment happened a few nights ago. Me and Elder Elder Hinton were out and about one night after dark. Every night in Waycross, Georgia in the winter it gets dark at about 6:30 pm or so. And when that happens much of the town shuts down for the night, leaving us finding it hard to find people to visit. This was one of those times. All of our plans had fallen through, and we didn't know what we could do. We decided we should pray and ask God who needed a visit from us at that moment in time. After a very heartfelt and sincere prayer, we felt it would be best to visit one of our investigators who lived pretty far away. We were on our bicycles that night, so it seemed far-fetched that it would be worth it to go visit him. But we decided we should trust in God and go. We pushed ourselves all the way out there in the cold night, and when we got there, he said it wasn't a good time for us and shut the door. We were perplexed, but decided we could visit another man nearby. We went to his house and he let us in! We had a great visit with him, and the Holy Ghost testified powerfully in the lesson. We invited him to be baptized and he said he would! We left that night grateful that we had listened to the Spirit.
This is just one example of how God can help us in our lives. Through the Gift of the Holy Ghost, He can guide us and prompt us to know what we should do. This is a precious gift that comes to us directly from God when we are baptized. I'm grateful for this gift in my life and for always being able to know what I should do. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and that the complete gospel of Jesus Christ is back on the earth again. If you want to know if this is true as well, meet with the missionaries (us) in your area and we would love to share our message with you!
