100 Happy Days!

• Day #66: I love words of living prophets and more especially a book I found recently that is written by the apostles makes me very happy. A quote from President Nelson is this: 'Plead with the Lord for the gift of discernment. Then live and work to be worthy to receive that gift so that when confusing events arise in the world you will know exactly what is true and what isn't.' People kept telling me that you learn something from every experience in life. In relation to those horrible roommates last year I always thought 'no way, I learned nothing living there except that I would never want to be horrible like those people.' But not long ago I had the realization that the ONLY reason why I figured out how horrible all those people were was actually due to the holy ghost. I wouldn't have figured it out on my own, other then maybe catching on that I hated how controlling they tried to be. And that they'd say things that contradicted what they previously said, so it was obvious they were liars. But one clear experience I had was when the biggest bully of the apartment (one who'd been there around 5 years) got everyone into a huge fight. I left town to get away from the stupid crap. But my Bishop had said to me before I left 'make sure your room is locked at all times.' I made the mistake of telling that bully that I was leaving town, so she cornered me right before I left so that I'd forget to consider locking the door. The next day my sister suddenly asked me if I'd locked my door in Logan, then explaining she'd randomly had the impression to ask that. I realized that I hadn't, but we decided that I could just ask that roommate to lock it. (I didn't know what a bully she was then) Well I suddenly had a very dark impression that I shouldn't ask her. The last resort was to ask the landlord, but as an after thought I was like 'oh I should just get the roommate to do it.' But then my sister said 'no if you had a bad feeling about the roommate then don't do it.' So I got the landlord to go lock the door, but turns out that very night the nasty girl started trying to message me and get all sweetie on me. I'm pretty sure she was there when the landlord showed up to lock my room door and was mad about it. Anyway I went back and learned later on how horrible and dishonest she was in general. (good deceiver is all there is to it) So anyway recently I realized a lot of what I found out in relation to what she was doing was from impressions of the Holy Ghost. I know that I learned from living there that I'd NEVER want to live without the holy ghost. The only way to decipher good from evil in the world is through the holy ghost. We really can't do it on our own! Sadly there are nasty/evil people in the world currently. I would have honestly been so screwed with those horrible roommates if I had not been in tune with the holy ghost. The holy ghost literally saved me multiple times in that nasty place.
