    I ran into some financial trouble recently. I was distraught, and wondered what I was going to do. I knew I needed to read that week's Come, Follow Me, so when I opened up to section 111, and came to verse 5, when the Lord says "Concern not yourselves about your debts, for I will give you power to pay them." I knew He was telling me it was going to be okay. Since then, things have already gotten better. I'm so grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost, who teaches us truth and comforts us in ways we understand and in the moment we need Him the most.

    I had the very opposite and yet same experience. My brother had served a mission in Japan. He later married a Japanese woman. Hearing them speak was fascinating so I studied Japanese in high school. Three years of it. Little surprise then when I was called to serve in Japan, Tokyo North.
    A little over halfway through my 10 weeks at the Missionary Training Center in Provo my assignment came into question when administrators realized I was assigned to an overseas mission and I was on prescription medication, which is problematic for practical reasons. That medication had been disclosed in my mission papers, but somehow overlooked? For a period of a week or two I didn't know where I would be serving or in what language. One day during my morning study I read a poem in a non-denominational book of Christian inspiration quotes and such. Hopefully my memory of it is accurate enough:
    "Father, where shall I work today?'
    My love flowed warm and free.
    He pointed me out a tiny spot,
    And said, 'Tend that for me.'
    I answered quickly, 'Oh, no, not that.
    Not any one would see,
    No matter how well my work was done.
    Not that little place for me!'
    Now when he spoke, it was not stern,
    He answered me tenderly,
    'Little one, search that heart of thine;
    Art thou working for them or me?
    Nazareth was a little place,
    And so was Galilee.'"
    A little later that morning I was called into the MTC president's office. He explained that the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles had a special meeting and discussed my situation. I was reassigned to the New York New York North Mission, Japanese speaking. I was to help start a new Japanese language program there, as a response to the mission president's request for Japanese-speaking missionaries.
    My Japanese language skills from high school studies had already been surpassed by everyone in my district, but they prepared me to develop even further than most do in that time. And I had more familiarity with the people and culture than most. I had been prepared.
    What really brings this full-circle for me is that Elder Rasband was called as a general authority within days of my reassignment (April 2000). Up until the previous summer he had been serving as the mission president of the New York New York North Mission, where I then served and heard many wonderful stories from the older missionaries about his leadership. While I've never met him even then he had an influence on my life, and through me, others.
    And yet until now I had no idea he had such a similar experience to me, being assigned (in my case reassigned) to the same mission, against our own expectations but unquestionably where we were supposed to be.
    Thank you, Elder Rasband!

    This video brought memories about the time when I was called to serve in Honduras. My brothers served in Canada and the United States (we are from Mexico), so everyone expected I was going to serve in one of those places too. I did my best to accept my calling with joy, and later in my mission I was able to serve as a medical assistant and work very closely with my Mission President and his wife (because I was good speaking English). Because of that experience, I learned the Lord always calls you where he needs you to be.

They’re willing to share problems and how they changed after reaching out for Devine help with their problems from the Holy Spirit. I can reach out for Devine help as well. I’m so grateful to the Lord and Love Him so much. I really feel I, we all have a way back. To live with our Heavenly Father again. I don’t know about you. But I want to live with him again, the word Heavenly Father means so much to me. To have a Father who loves me. Brings grateful tears to me. I Love Him so much I can’t put it to words.

    I've heard stories like Elder Rasband's, of individuals that were called to serve in areas that they didn't expect at all (especially when their hearts and minds were looking to a specific area), but I think it's very good that now, now we have a General Authority who relates his story of heeding the Lord's call, even if it didn't go the way he'd planned.
    I didn't have an opportunity to serve a mission, but I am grateful for the missionary and ministry fellowship experiences I *have* had.

    Thank you, elder Rasband, for sharing this. My older sister was called to Italy, my older brother and younger brother to Brazil. So I was shocked when I was called to Tennessee. It took some time to accept it, but I am continually sharing with people how it was inspired that I go there. I had experiences and confirmations to attest to it. I was meant to go to that area. It just gave me further proof that the Lord is making the calling. I am grateful I was able to serve the Lord on a mission, and I can't wait to go with my wife someday.

At Elder Nash's Gospel Principles Class, I was asked if Elder Nash could "quote me" and I was soon asked following this Class to Bear My Testimony. I did but I do not remember what I said. I do remember HOW I felt, so overwhelmed, in a good way...The Spirit Embracing Me Entirely while I tried to recover from The Fernandez's Glorious Hymn.

    Okay, I'll share.
    I moved to England when I was 11, went through their school system, took my GCSEs then a year of 6th form. After another year, having just turned 18, I was old enough to go on a mission. (Back then most missionaries had to be 19 to serve, but British young men could go at 18 because of how much earlier they finish school).
    So October 3, 1990, I entered the MTC, weighing in at 130 lbs and enthusiastic about...everything! My companion was much older (24?), a tall, muscular (I think he played college football) grown man. We were opposites in many ways.
    In our classes I was almost always exuberant. My companion was subdued. One night before bed he told me that I was extremely immature and not cut out to be an ambassador for the Lord.
    His words struck me forcefully. I remember not being able to sleep for quite some time, laying there, sad and worried that he was right. Finally I crawled out of bed and knelt down and asked my Heavenly Father about it.
    Almost immediately I experienced something singularly wonderful. A voice in my mind said, "Get up and read Jeremiah."
    First I thought, "Jeremiah is a huge book, which chapter?" There was no further direction so I sat at my little desk, turned on the lamp, opened my green-bound quad and began in chapter 1. My answer was in verses 6-9.
    Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
    But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
    Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
    Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
    From that moment I stopped worrying about what my companion thought and served with full purpose of heart.
    God lives, he is our perfect a deeply loving Father. He hears and answers prayers. When necessary He does so immediately and often with messages He's previously delivered to other great men and women.

    Thank you Elder Rasband for your message. I had an experience where the Lord spoke to me through the scriptures. I was going through a difficult trial in my life. I had gone to the Temple to feel closer to the Lord and prayed for peace and comfort. I prayed; Dear Lord are you there? Am I going to be ok? Then I asked if he would speak to me through the scriptures. I decided to let the scriptures open randomly to a scripture. I felt the Lord answered my prayer in such a beautiful way!
    So you know the story where Jesus walked upon the waters in the storm towards the disciples?First they thought it was a spirit but when the Savior came closer they recognized him.
    Jesus said; “ Be of good Cheer. It is I”
    Then when the scriptures 📖lay open and I looked down I started crying it said;
    “ Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you;“ My heart ❤️ was so touched
    I couldn’t believe it. The Lord spoke to me so clearly. I felt so loved at that moment that I promised to never question or doubt the Lord again. I can testify He is in the details of our lives and Loves us so dearly.

    I relate with this message greatly. Every single male and almost every woman in my immediate and fathers extended family served missions all over the world, from culiacan mexico to moscow russia. I had had a rough medical history, and worked hard to get to a place where I felt I was ready to serve. On my papers I wrote I'd love to serve in Ghana or somewhere far far away. But at the end I also added that I knew the Lord knew better than I, and I would be happy with where ever I was called, even if state side. Well, it came and I was called to a service mission. Based out of my own home. I was distraught, more so than I had ever been before. However, after a good cry, I turned to prayer and scripture study. I found my answer in the second great commandment. To love thy neighbor. And here I was, with my literal neighbor very close. It wasn't to where I was called it was to whom I was called to.
    I'm still out now, and have seen many miracles and good things happen that would not have happened if I had not been called to serve.

    Its late , so I hear what I think.
    The church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints.
    My brain injury , it hears what I think to say and , it moves to take on time by putting off the natural man to hear what the spirit has , said to the ones knocking and the ones answering the dore , by Revelation and by the faith to knowledge another testament of Jesus Christ.
    The move to hear is a , sense to speak.
    The simple , way is the most knowledgeable way , a season is to understanding the hardest roads we have ever been on to make them as knowledge as we can by taking them over and over again one by one as the mountains move by faith to have we see the way before the light can come .
    So , I am hearing and , if we speak to a line as a Reed grows the group to knowledge the way to dry land .
    If I think , the tomb of Christ be in the ground and a rock placed over the entrance.
    Is how I would paint it.
    My thoughts turn to questions that have answers as how I hear and the dore , we knock on be a room to come in and await the calling to be answered by the one knocking to have more of the same to another testament of Jesus Christ teachings.
    My favorite bird is a sandpiper , as a child and a eagle was more interesting to watch as they have enemies.
    I can , remember , Winnie the pooh was my favorite.
    If I be real quite i can , hear , to be picked up as the story goes on.
    A ring would be a button for the finger it fits on.
    How I hear is by the music that is playing a different note than the words spoken by the singer , some play good enough to hear what the singer is lacking to be leading the way by sound that is poetic thinking to rhythm that is not.
    If I lesson i could be caught up in the spirit of quite more than quiet of ones thoughts to have peace.
    The secondary that comes from the main to kick in the control to have two things going on at one time is important scripture information.

    This blessed me. I forget sometimes but I felt the spirit and remembered I moved to Iowa one time as a younger person and had concerns about my choice and I opened the scriptures and I not by chance read a scripture in the doctrine and covenants that was for me. I the Lord an not displeased with your coming here etc (you something like that) is what I read.

    Thank you for heeding the Spirit and serving in the Eastern States Mission among my kinsfolk.

    This was such a cool experience to hear about. I had almost the EXACT experience that Elder Rasband had. My dad served in Austria, my older brother in Germany, so I had the thought that Europe and German speaking was where I needed to go. I opened my mission call, and found I was to serve in the Connecticut Hartford mission. I too went to the scriptures, and opened RANDOMLY to D&C 99:1-3, which calls an elder to the eastern countries, and announces blessings for his service. This hit me so hard as I knew that I had been guided to this scripture in search of an answer if Connecticut was where I was needed. It also gave me the confirmation I needed to serve with all I had, every day, for those best 2 years.
    I know that Heavenly Father answers prayers, even through the wonderful scriptures that He has blessed us with in these times. He knows our inner-most thoughts, concerns, and desires of our hearts. He seeks to bless us when we search and look for truth, answers, or guidance. For those that ask, God will grant peace, answers, and comfort in times of need.

    I'm grateful for scriptures that open up other venues for me to receive revelation. Reading God's word throughout my life has blessed me immeasurably, and without such books as the Holy Bible and The Book of Mormon I would have been lost as a youth. Thank God for modern day prophets who continue to guide and direct us, God's children, through these latter-days of strife and turmoil!

    D&C has been a delight for me this year, our family has struggled with many challenges and each week it feels like Come Follow Me was especially designed to help us navigate our decisions. It is no coincidence, just the divine hand of God. We are so grateful for the power of the scriptures in our lives!

    I can’t tell when He’s speaking to me anymore, or if it’s a bad spirit. My life keeps falling apart, and I’m losing hope. The smallest of things make me give up, and I’ve pled for guidance for about a year and a half now for what I should do, and the heavens are so quiet it’s deafening, or it’s my fault, I don’t know. I’m so tired of failing.

      Hi @FromAgonyToLight, thanks for your comment. You are not alone! We know our Heavenly Father knows you, loves you, and hears your prayers, even if you feel He is not speaking to you. When it is difficult to hear God's voice, it can be helpful to learn more about prayer and personal revelation from the scriptures, the words of modern prophets and Church leaders, and to hear about others' experiences. See the link below for resources, videos, articles, etc., to help you learn more: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/prayer?lang=eng
      Elder Robert D. Hales also shared an encouraging message about learning to recognize answers to prayers back in 1989. His message is still very relevant today, and we encourage you to check it out here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1989/10/learning-to-recognize-answers-to-prayer?lang=eng

    Elder Rasband, I am so grateful for your testimony and message. I was raised back East by my converted mom and dad. We were in the Eastern States Mission and had many missionaries in our home. My mother loved the missionaries and fed them often in our home. I like to think that maybe you were one of the many. Those missionaries were a blessing to our family so new in the gospel of Jesus Christ. They fed us with their testimonies and the Spirit that they carried with them.

    So interesting and relevant. I too have had the scriptures speak to me recently concerning issues at work at home and personally. They have spoken to me in a way that I would never have gotten from any other source. I didn't think of it as revelation but after watching this video, I have come to realize that these messages and thoughts I have had are in fact personal revelation from God. Thank you for your words that have given me a better understanding of revelation, how it may come and how to accept it.
