Learning to feel the spirit

~ It´s awesome being here, it´s so much fun! The best times in my life are when I´m doing something all day everyday, I´m loving the schedule, up at 6:15 and learning till 10:30. Good habits are so powerful! Preach my gospel is so great, we really try to teach to the investigators needs, and I love it. It´s easier to help someone when you know exactly what they need. We work a lot on asking the right questions and getting the people thinking, it´s so much fun! We watched a talk by elder Bednar about knowing what the spirit feels like and it was great, because he simply said don´t worry about it. he shared three different times where he made a decisions that at the time he thought they were just his own thoughts, but afterwards looking back and seeing what had happened he realized it was what the spirit had wanted him to do. He said all that we need to do is try our best to be good boys and girls. It´s taken away all the doubts and second guesses I had with my choices, as long as I´m trying my best the spirit will be with me, it was so reasuring to hear an apostle say that some of his choices that did turn out to be the spirit, he at first was unsure if it was just him thinking it. The spirit works with us, and it´s awesome. My companion and I don´t really prepare for our teaching practices, we like to just begin them and ask questions and go with the spirit, and if we begin something that feels and seems important for the situation we will stay and go deeper with it. We taught our president here and he told us that we shouldn't feel like we need to get to every point in the lesson, instead we should find what is most important to them and stay with that. It´s great, this church is great the people only want to help and lift those around them.
