I want to testify of something amazing. The gift of the Holy Ghost. I was baptized and then received the gift at age 8. From there I grew and learned how to listen to the "still small voice." I can give my own personal experiences of how the Holy Ghost worked in my life, but not now. I want to tell you about Taylor.

Aaron and I would talk to him and try to explain to him how to look on the positive side of things. He would be given something and see what he didn't get. An adult would be handing out treats and Taylor would only want the best and biggest one. He would even step in front and grab it before anyone else would. Every time, without fail, when he would get back from a friends house and I would ask how it went he would cry and be so mad because of something small thing that happened. I just could not get that kid to look on the positive. I even took away ever toy in the house from Taylor and Cameron. They could receive them back when I thought they had changed their attitude towards life. It kind of worked to stop the complaining and fighting, but it didn't change his view of the world.

The amazing thing I want to testify is of Taylor and receiving the Holy Ghost. From October 18th and on, he has had a different attitude. He has said "thanks mom, I really liked it" OUT OF THE BLUE to me, so many times. He can understand there is plenty of candy to go around and time with his toys when they leave. He has been in this positive attitude for a month now. Instead of dinner being burnt he says, "the cheese is the best part, Mom."

I had no idea there would be such a fast change in him. I personally and so glad to have the Gift of the Holy Ghost in my life and am equally glad that my children will receive it. Taylor needs it already at school and now I know he will do much better with the decisions he'll face.
