Sweet Experiences-MTC

The Book of Mormon answers the questions of the Soul.  Elder Holland counselled us in his devotional, "If you listen in love, the Spirit will give  you what to say." ( Providing we prepare ourselves with study and prayer)  We were taught to have Christ in all our teaching and our purpose is to serve and lead others to the feet of the Savior where the Spirit can testify of all truth. 

Our Friday teaching experience with a volunteer was stretching us.  We visited for ten minutes to get to know him a little and prayed about what he might need to be taught to help him.  Steve and Rosie both felt like a lesson on the Priesthood would be the best, so we looked up some scriptures and prepared a church video on the I-phone to present.  In the classroom, we prayed together and had the volunteer read some of the scriptures.  We presented the video on "The Priesthood" that was excellent from the church website.  Steve challenged the man to ask his father for a Priesthood blessing and he indicated positively he would the next opportunity.  Steve expressed his love for this man and promised him the blessings of Heaven as he followed through on the challenge.  Rosie gave the man a couple of her crocheted bookmarks and choked up.  There were no dry eyes in the group as the man and Steve shared a hug.(Our trainer told us later how pleased the man was with our lesson because the Holy Ghost had whispered exactly what was needed in his life at this time)

In the Evening we enjoyed a session in the Provo Temple on the hill above the MTC.  We came out to  walk by the lighted water fountains in the cool evening breeze and were engulfed in the sweetest peace and well being.
