Relying on the Power of the Holy Ghost

In my Mission Preparation class we are studying how to teach by the Spirit. My teacher has continued to emphasize to us that we aren't going to teach investigators, the Holy Ghost will teach the investigators. Our sole job as a missionary our only purpose is to serve them and then to invite the Spirit to teach them. We must be living worthily and have an attitude of humility in order to teach with the Holy Ghost. For it is by the Holy Ghost that the investigators may know the truth of all things. I had heard this before in Sunday school but I had never deeply internalized it and fully realized the implications of this concept. I have always thought of myself as an eloquent speaker with an ability to articulate in a skilled manner. Thus I assumed that because of these skills I would be a great missionary. But now I see the folly of this thought. Based on my intellect, abilities, and articulation alone I will never be an effective missionary. However, based on my humility and worthiness to invite the Spirit as I teach with the Holy Ghost, I will be a powerful missionary. This epiphany of mine was further confirmed by a Conference talk in which the speaker gave the analogy of his daughter holding onto his back pocket in order to climb up a mountain. I know that as I learn to trust in the Lord and rely on the Holy Ghost rather than my own intellect, I will be able to climb the mountain of being a powerful missionary and an instrument in the hands of the Lord.
