3. The Holy Ghost helped the apostles after the Savior's death and resurrection by comforting them and reminding them that this was what the Savior was meant to do. 

A time in my life when the Holy Ghost was there was when I was deciding whether I should marry my (now husband). I didn't date a lot in high school and so when I started getting serious in my relationship with him, I worried that I was just jumping into something. I prayed and went to the temple a lot, and asked my friends and family how they felt about it during this time. They all reassured me that they thought he was a real gem and I felt nothing but comfort in the temple. I believe it was the Holy Ghost who was speaking through all of those people to me.
