Show the camera to the audience. Explain that when you feel the Holy Ghost before you are confirmed, it’s influence can be felt in flashes, like this camera flash.

For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do (2 Ne. 32:5). There it was, just lying on the sidewalk! I stopped and stared at it. “Hey, what’s wrong with you?” I looked up to see my new friend, Sally, standing beside me. “Look,” I said, “someone’s…

The Holy Ghost will whisper. Listen, listen to the still small voice. (Children’s Songbook, page 106.) “Good morning,” Mom greeted Kim cheerfully. “Breakfast is almost ready. Would you finish setting the table for me?” Kim put silverware and a glass at each plate, pulled out a chair, propped her head in her hands, and stared at the flower pattern on her plate. “Are you excited about your all-day picnic,” Mom…

Several years ago, I was invited to give an important lecture at a medical school in New York City. The night before the lecture, Sister Nelson and I were invited to dinner at the home of our host professor. There he proudly introduced us to an honor medical student—his beautiful daughter.

Ask everyone to close their eyes and listen to the music that you are about to play. Tell them to think about how the music makes them feel.

Having the Holy Ghost with us as all times will help us not to be fooled by his traps. Prepare the apple and the onion like a caramel apple on the sticks. Ask the students to pick which caramel apple they would like to eat. Based on appearances,…

Have someone try to crush the empty soda can with one hand–it’s easy. Now have someone try to crush the full can with one hand–you can’t. What is the difference? When you are full of the Spirit you are strong and Satan can’t crush you.
Ring the tuning fork, play the same note on the piano. Ask if the piano is in tune with the tuning fork. Ask why or why not? (piano hasn’t been tuned, humidity, time between tunings, etc.) Make the connection that we need to do certain things to keep ourselves in tune with the Holy Spirit, i.e. prayer, scripture study, church attendance, etc.
