"Nothing in this life is of greater worth than the supernal gift of the Holy Ghost. It is the source of joy, peace, knowledge, strength, love, and every other good thing. [Coupled] with the Atonement, it is the power by which we may be changed and made strong where we are weak. [Coupled] with the priesthood, it is the power by which marriages and families are sealed together eternally. [The Holy Ghost] is the power by which the Lord makes Himself manifest unto those who believe in Him. Every good thing depends on getting and keeping the power of the Holy Ghost in our lives. Everything depends on that." - Lawrence E. Corbridge, "The Way," Ensign, Nov 2008, 34–36

Just the other night I got the see the power of the Holy Ghost in action. I was out with the Missionaries and we were seeing an man who they had seen about 4 or 5 times already. He has had troubled life and made some bad decisions and gotten himself in trouble with the law. However he does have a wife and two adorable little kids. We had a semi-emotional meeting while he was telling us about all the blessing he has in his life and it was amazing to me that he recognized them as such. He is a good man who treats his family very well and who treats his friends and neighbors well too. He has just made some poor decisions. The Elders ran into him on the street and talked to him in his apartment. They said it was a very emotional conversation. To help put this man into perspective, he is a Black man who looks like he is from the "Hood". Again, he is very nice and the spirit is with him. We challenged him to baptism that night and he accepted. I hope to see him at church this Sunday. If those who read this could pray for him it would be great, his name is Brycen.
