Dan Jon Jr and The Holy Ghost
Yesterday I published the highlights of my Baptism themed talk to Dan Jon Jr at his Baptism this past Saturday. Dan Jon asked Top Ender to talk too and asked if she would mind talking about The Holy Ghost.
The following are the highlights of the talk that Top Ender gave.

Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are the three members of the Godhead. Each of them are separate from each other, but they
work together because they all want what is best for us. Today I’m going to talk to you a little about the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Ghost has a spirit body, not a body of flesh
and bone. This allows him to be with us all the time and help put ideas into our heads and
feelings into our hearts. I also think it helps him to whisper into our ear, when we need him.
Another name for the Holy Ghost is the comforter.
He
comforts us when we are sad or in times of need. Isn't that great? It’s like
having a hug from someone who loves us, even when our loved ones aren’t around.
And this is why I have this blanket for you. I know that you like wrapping
yourself up in lots of blankets but this one is a special Holy Ghost reminder
blanket. It's warm and soft and one of your favourite colours too!
The Holy Ghost helps us in many other ways too.
Like, if you have a test as long as you try to work hard he will help you do
well. Or if you need to make a decision quick sometimes he prompts you to
decide A instead of B and sometimes he helps us avoid situations that could
turn out bad for us.
Some people might think this is intuition or luck, but we
know it is the Holy Ghost prompting us.
I bet by now you're wondering how you can know when you have
the Holy Ghost with you. Okay, I want you to think back to either last night
when you were snuggled up in bed with your blankets and you were just drifting off to
sleep, or this morning when you were snuggled up in bed and just on the edge of
waking up properly.
You know how you felt warm and snugly and safe?
That’s how the Holy Ghost makes us feel.
When you
feel love or joy or peace or patience, when you are gentle and kind, you are
feeling the influence of the Holy Ghost in your life.
Everyone feels the spirit in a different way and as
you live with him as your constant companion you’ll soon work out when it is
the Holy Ghost talking to you.
After I was baptised mum asked me how I felt. It’s
become a joke now that I said wet, which is true I was, but it was after I got the gift of the Holy Ghost that I
wish Mum had asked me, how I felt.
I felt special and very happy and thankful and
like my heart was about to burst out of my chest and sing a song and do a
little tap dance!
Dan Jon Jr loved Top Enders talk and he has not put that blanket down since he got it! My entire house is covered in a light blue fluff!
