We are living in a rainstorm!

We have been enlightened this week with the family Christmas Party, Grandpa's account of finding Castle Valley, and a recent letter from Saren.

Saren shared a beautiful experience in her letter this week. She said that one of the sisters was talking last week about the Holy Ghost. She was saying she had a hard time knowing if the Holy Ghost was with her and prompting her or not. Elder Kopischke of the seventy responded "Sister, we live in a rainstorm," meaning that the Spirit really is always with us pouring out promptings on us like drops in a rainstorm. We have only to recognize them, she wrote. She then confided that she has been paying more attention to those little promptings, and she sees evidence that we really are living in a rainstorm! The Spirit can be ever present in our lives.

I think that is what Grandpa was telling us in his account of finding and starting the adventure in Castle Valley and every day of our lives since.


When Christ departed from his apostles, he promised to leave them a comforter. We should pray for the companionship of the Holy Ghost everyday. We have each been blessed with this gift.

Receive the Holy Ghost and seek the ongoing companionship of the Spirit.
