Share one insight that you have gained from your scripture study and/or from the additional resource.

As I was studying John 14, I came across his promise to send his disciples "the Comforter" or the Holy Ghost. It reminded me of the different roles of the Holy Ghost. He is a comforter and a teacher, and he can help us to remember the things that we need in the moment that we need them. Each of these things are things that everyone needs, especially college students. And the promise isn't just that he'll help us in our religion classes. It's in everything. If you are struggling in a class, he can help. If you are having trouble with your roommates, he can help.

How has this insight blessed your life or how have you applied what you learned?

As I was reminded of this, I began to look for where I could use his help more in my life and ask for it. I feel like it's already helped me, especially as I'm studying for finals. I've had instances where even though I didn't feel like a study session was very effective, I was able to remember just enough to get me through a test. It's been really cool to see the different areas that the Holy Ghost has improved my life.
