A little while ago, I volunteered to sing in church. However, due to scheduling difficulties, I wasn't able to sing until today. Unfortunately, I really didn't think that it went "amazingly" well. So, when I sat down and people said they really enjoyed it, I was a little uncomfortable.
Needless to say, I had been taught by my mother to *always* say "Thank You" and that's it. When I was younger, she had overheard me saying, "Oh, it wasn't very good," and she asked me to refrain from making excuses and take the compliment. It's honestly been one of those things that I need to continually work on. I apologize.
Ultimately, I think that more than a few people felt the spirit (well, they told me). So, if I can, in some small way, be a conduit for the spirit, then I think it'll all be ok. My mother, and countless others, have said or done things that have brought me closer to God--they've been conduits for the spirit in my life. I hope they know how grateful I am.

I love you Adam <3 and I'm sure it was amazing! Miss you lots!
The Holy Ghost works in perfect unity with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, fulfilling several roles to help us live righteously and receive the blessings of the gospel. His communication to our spirit carries far more certainty than any communication we can receive through our natural senses. Through Him, we can receive gifts of the Spirit for our benefit and for the benefit of those we love and serve. Adam, when I have heard you sing, I always remember the scripture from Doctrine and Covenants 46:10-12. "And again, verily I say unto you, I would that ye should always remember, and always retain in your minds what those gifts are, that are given unto the church. For all have not every gift given unto them; for there are many gifts, and to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God. To some is given one, and to some is given another, that all may be profited thereby." Thank you for always being willing to share your testimony to us in song.
