The Holy Ghost

Lesson today with Sis. Bec 'Ota'Ota.

He is a "personage of Spirit" (D & C 130:22) He can be in only one place at a time but HIS INFLUENCE can be everywhere at the same time. There are different names given for the Holy Ghost such as Comforter, Testifier, The Spirit, Witness, Communicator, Messenger, Teacher; just to name a few. Ways in which we may feel the Holy Ghost as expressed by Sisters: the Still Small Voice, Dreams, Hearing a Commanding voice, having a warm feeling, burning in your bosom, feeling of someone near you. There maybe many more ways in which you may know that the Holy Ghost speaks to you. President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "When a man has the manifestation from the Holy Ghost, it leaves an indelible (permanent) impression on his soul, one that is not easily erased. It is a Spirit speaking to spirit and it comes with convincing force."
A few Sisters shared experiences as to how they felt/heard the Holy Ghost at certain times of their lives. Maybe you've had an experience which has awoken your awareness of the Holy Ghost & one which you would like to share with another. Has that occasion helped you grow in your testimony?

Luke 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

Announcements:

Honey (yum yum) if you would like honey for your home food storage please place your order on the list on the notice board at the Chapel. Orders & payment to be in by 7 May 2010 to Sis Bailey. No money, no honey. (pardon my humor) The honey will be ordered from Flagstaff Apiaries. Minimum size is 1kg @ $7.00 Other sizes available, so check the noticeboard.

Temple Recommend: If you have one, it's a good time to check if it is still current & that you're still worthy of this blessing & if you don't have one; maybe now's the time to consider making that your goal to work towards preparing to attend the Temple. We have the Stake Temple Trip coming up in September & that will come around sooner than you think, roughly 21 weeks away.

LAVENDER PARTY
Although a Lavender Party, this is STRICTLY LAVENDER FREE ZONE, so no flowers, dried or fresh or perfumes, oils etc as Sis Angela Tripptree is extremely allergic.
Please bring a friend & bring a plate of supper of which we would love to see some mauvelous creations, wear something that is synonymous with Lavender, like Plum, Lilac, Thistle, orchid, Mauve or Purple. So Sisters start checking your wardrobe for an outfit or be creative. See you there for a mauving experience.

Single Adults
