Being Led by the Spirit is a Blessing

"And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do." 1 Nephi 4:6

This is life. This summer I learned much about this but I am learning this more in a concentration here at the MTC. In our lesson with our sweet investigator last night, we decided to be led by the Spirit and ask inspired questions. We had covered a lot in previous lessons but we needed to hear more of what she had to say. It was awesome to be able to answer her questions purely by prompting. That lesson went well. I have testimony of eternal families and how my mom's example brought my dad to the gospel. I want to share the gospel so that other little girls can be sealed to their families like I was. It was such an amazing blessing to have my daddy attend his first endowment session after years of not having a temple recommend, and then ask my mom when they will go back together.

Missionaries Follow God Despite Obstacles

 *Hi, I'm Karis, Lyssa's friend. She has asked me to post blog posts that she writes and sends to me while on her mission. Thank you for visiting!*

The Book of Mormon is inspiring. It contains the personal stories of prophets and their testimonies. These are imperfect men who were directed of God to lead His people. Two examples are Alma and Ammon. Alma the Younger wrote much of the book of Alma. As you read the book of Alma, you will notice that sometimes he goes off on a tangent, and then comes back to his story. Personally, I think he had ADD. Did this stop him from being an amazing missionary and prophet? No! He proceeded to work miracles through his Savior.

Ammon, son of Mosiah, was one of the greatest missionaries in the Book of Mormon. Alma 22:17 he might have had narcolepsy. Did this stop him from being an amazing missionary? No!

I know that as I work hard and rely on the Lord, I too can be an amazing missionary.
