This week I've finally started to understand something that's confused me so much in the past.  Following the promptings of the Spirit has seemed like such an abstract concept to me at times, and I've always wondered how I could differentiate between my own thoughts and promptings of the Spirit.  For those of you unfamiliar with what that is, the Spirit, or Holy Ghost is one of the members of the Godhead, who does not have a physical body like Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, but is a spirit that testifies truth to our minds and hearts and gives us feelings of peace and love.  This week I've realized I've been asking the wrong question entirely.  We don't need to differentiate between thoughts, maybe a prompting from the Spirit will just feel like one of our own thoughts, but if it's a good thought, we should simply act on it.  The more righteously and obediently we are living, and the more we are becoming like Christ, the more our thoughts will be the same as promptings from the Spirit.  The more our thoughts will be aligned with what the Spirit tells us.  All we have to worry about is becoming more like Christ, and following the promptings of the Spirit will become easier and easier. 

This week has been another wonderful week.  My companion and I were made Sister Training Leaders, which is kind of like a Zone Leader, but only over the sisters in our zone.  The Zone Leaders mostly take care of the Elders and we take care of the sisters.  I have to go do a tour for all the new sisters coming into our zone this week in just a little bit.  I'm so excited! My companion and I have decided (along with the Zone Leaders) that we want to help our zone step it up with, not only our study, but our whole behavior here. 

Also, apparently along with the new announcements at the missionary broadcast, they are going to start phasing in ipads and iphones for all the missionaries, and they will be able to use them for scheduling, teaching and everything else.  Two of the elders from my district were chosen to be "models" for the pamphlets they're making about it.  They went for a two hour photoshoot and got makeup put on them.  It was really weird.  But if you see an Elder Angel and Elder Weber on any pamphlets, that's my claim to fame.

Last night we had a fantastic devotional about "What ere thou art, act well thy part."  My district came back and had a discussion about it, which was incredible, watching all these 18 and 19 year olds

weep as they became truly humbled and ready to serve others.  I wish I had more time to explain it.  There is true power behind humility.

I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July, I love you all, next week I will organize this better and have a lot more time! Adios!
