I've been learning a lot about how the spirit works within us - it will not force us to take a u turn, but it will gently and, if we hearken in the least, it will persistently encourage us to change our direction - we should always follow o the best of our ability, and we will be directed for righteousness eventually. Our steps towards "the light of the world" will be accepted and applauded, even when we stumble awkwardly.
Me and my companion have been teaching people about how sometimes our lives seem full of doubt or fears or just plain darkness, and so we use president Uchtdorf's talk to show them that through coming to the light of the world and setting aside those things that do so easily beset us, we can dispel those doubts/fears/other enemies of faith. We explain that the light form Christ includes the blessings, enlightenment, happiness, comfort, and every other thing we are given by Christ through faith him and according to our following his teachings.
Me and my companion seem to be getting along well, we both know we're not perfect but striving, and that understanding helps us be patient with all of each other's imperfections and to become united in purpose, just like the Godhead: Our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are seperate beings, but united in purpose.
so that's about it, hope all's well with you and yours!
Elder Dallin Carlson
