milestones

So I have my mission call to St. George Utah. In addition i'll be serving at the temple visitor's center. I'm definately getting closer to getting all the items I need which is exciting. I got my shoes today! :) yay! So my question is, are getting mission shoes considered a missionary milestone? I think it should be...

The Holy Ghost

15¶If ye alove me, bkeep my ccommandments.
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another aComforter, that he may babide with you for ever;
17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you
The Holy Ghost is a comforter. They must pray to receive Him.

26But the aComforter, which is the bHoly Ghost, whom the Father will send in my cname, he shall dteach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27aPeace I leave with you, my bpeace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be ctroubled, neither let it be afraid.
The Holy Ghost will help us remember things.

26But when the aComforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall btestify of me:
27And ye also shall bear awitness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
The Holy Ghost will testify and bear witness.

7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is aexpedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the bComforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8And when he is come, he will areprove the world of sin, and of brighteousness, and of judgment:
The Holy Ghost will reprove the world of sin

13Howbeit when he, the aSpirit of truth, is come, he will bguide you into all ctruth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will dshew you things to come.
14He shall aglorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
The Holy Ghost will guide us all into truth, and glorify God
The Holy Ghost has helped the apostles complete their missions just like it has helped us complete all of our missions. It is here to help us discern right from wrong.
I had a very strong feeling of the Holy Ghost when I was in a meeting with my stake president when we were talking about going on a mission. It was very overpowering. I also feel very must at piece whenever I go to the temple. I love it so much there, and look forward to going again.

The Savior teaches us that leadership is about putting yourself above no one, and it's about serving others. They will spend their time teaching and being taught.

The world teaches us that the leader is the one in control. They should be treated like royalty and pampered and spoiled. They leave us with the impression that the leader is suppose to be better then everyone else. They teach, but don't think they need to be taught.

I've had some amazing young women leaders. They have brought me and my fellow young women together in so many ways. We have jokes about things that happened in young womens and activities we've been to. There was also a young women leader who was a bit older. At first I wasn't sure about her, but she ended up being so amazing. Everytime i missed church when I wasn't feeling well, she came to my door within the next few days with a sprite or something for me. These leaders were a great example for us.
