Download this lesson here:  The Holy Ghost PDF Morning Meeting: Matthew 3:16. From the story of Jesus' baptism, we learn about the "Godhead". We learn that Heavenly Father spoke from heaven, the Holy Ghost came down as a dove and Jesus was baptized. They are three separate beings. (Place "Heavenly Father," "Jesus," and "The Holy Ghost" on the board.) This is us on earth. (Place "Us on Earth" on the board) When we pray, we talk to Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ (draw arrows from us to Jesus and from Jesus to Heavenly Father). When Heavenly Father talks to us, it's through the Holy Ghost (draw arrows from Heavenly Father to The Holy Ghost and The Holy Ghost to us - the final board is shown below). We often feel it in our hearts by a feeling and in our minds by a thought (place heart and mind on board). Everyone can feel the power of the Holy Ghost. You can print these cards in the Holy Ghost PDF . Family H...
