Sunday

I taught the lesson in Relief Society yesterday. It was on what Joseph Smith has said about baptism and the Holy Ghost. I felt that the most important thing to me in the lesson was the statement at the end on how you can tell if you have the Spirit of the Lord. Joseph Smith came to Brigham Young 3 years after he (Joseph) was killed and this is part of the message he told Brigham: “The Spirit of the Lord will whisper peace and joy to your soul, and it will take malice, hatred, envying, strife, and all evil from your heart; your whole desire will be to do good, bring forth righteousness, and build up the kingdom of God. If you follow the Spirit of the Lord, you will go right.”
