Whether we are in a classroom, a missionary discussion, or a family home evening, teaching the doctrine regarding the Holy Ghost can help others understand this important gift. Parents "in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized" are told to help their children "understand the doctrine."1 The importance of helping others understand is described in the Doctrine and Covenants. While each person can learn to recognize the whisperings of the Spirit, that learning process can be facilitated as others help us understand about the Holy Ghost, share their personal testimonies, and provide an environment where the Spirit can be felt. Similar experiences happen repeatedly to members throughout the world on a regular basis, and there are those who desire to feel the Spirit guiding them daily in their lives. How did the missionaries know to knock on the door of someone who had been praying for them? or the home teacher to call a family that was in desperate need? or the young woman to stay away from a situation where her values could be compromised? In each of these situations they were guided by the influence of the Holy Ghost. A young woman plans on attending a school friend's party yet feels impressed to stay home this time.

We can help others become more familiar with the promptings of the Spirit when we share our testimony of the influence of the Holy Ghost in our lives.Īt the end of the day, a pair of missionaries starts toward home when one suddenly turns to the other and says, "I feel we need to stop at this one last place." A home teacher is prompted to call one of the families he visited just a few days before.
