Choice 2

1-abides with us, sent in the name of the father, teaches us, brings all things to remembrance,  brings us heavenly peace, testifies of Christ, reprove the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement, quickens all intellectual faculties, purifies natural passions and affections, develops beauty of person, can cleanse us from sin

Describe how the Holy Ghost helped the Apostles fulfill their missions after the Savior’s death and resurrection.
             He abides with them and testifies of truth, through the Holy Ghost people who have not been blessed with the gift of the Holy Ghost are still able to feel his power and influence of truth. The spirit is able to testify of Christ and his mission which helped those who had never seen or even heard of Christ come to know him. 

Write a paragraph about a time when the Holy Ghost blessed you in one of the ways you listed above. Give an example of how the Holy Ghost has inspired you.
              A couple weeks ago, my grandpa passed away after battling cancer for 2 years. Through a lot of treatments, slowed lifestyle, painful days, restless night, and many other physical complications he lost his battle one evening as his family was gathered around his bed at home. I have rarely felt a spirit so strong, or a veil so thin as at that time. The spirit truly can change even that hardest of situations and wash them over with peace. Despite the difficult circumstance we were able to feel the love of our Father in Heaven and those on the other side as he crossed the veil to return to his heavenly family.
