Review your list of what the Holy Ghost does.
Then write responses to the following tasks:
- Describe
how the Holy Ghost helped the Apostles fulfill their missions after the
Savior’s death and resurrection. The Holy Ghost helped the apostles fulfill their
missions after the savior’s death by administering to them the things
that they should do to bring the gospel to all the children of men. The
same way he does for our prophets and apostles today. He is their
constant companion and bears witness to the mysteries of the gospel so
that we are taught correctly.

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. The Holy Ghost has
provided me with comfort many times. One time in particular I was really
struggling and feeling alone. I had just started my first semester at
college and was feeling overwhelmed. When I knelt down to pray I was
pouring out my feelings. I had prayed asking to be comforted. Instantly I
felt like I was being hugged. I knew that it was an answer to my prayer.
