Today, in sacrament meeting, we had one speaker, and it was a three minute talk by a youth. So I asked the sister missionaries to bear their testimonies, and then Benjamin Forsyth. While he was speaking, I looked at Annie, and I felt like she was the one who ought to come up and speak. All I could think about was how scared she would be.
So I said a prayer and asked Heavenly Father that if it was that she should speak, to help her. I got up and looked at her again, and felt again like I ought to ask her. So I asked her to come help me. She got up and I whispered to her that I wanted her to share how we can prepare soil for planting seeds. She did. She said we should loosen the dirt, and water it and plant the seed. I asked her what we do with the rocks. She said you can't plant on rocky soil because the roots won't have anywhere to go and the plant will die. I asked her what we need to do to prepare our hearts to hear God's word. She said we need to pray and read the scriptures and fast.
So I spoke on that about the parable of the sower for a while. i'm glad Annie and I have been talking about that, and that the Spirit was there to direct things.
