So, last week our friend who happens to be a counselor in the bishopric at church called Brian on his cell phone and asked us to give talks this Sunday. If i would've seen his name on our caller ID, believe me I wouldn't have answered! Melissa,Brian, and myself all have a talk to prepare. Today has been a little stressful to say the least. I have the topic of how the scriptures are a guidance in our lives. Brian's has something to do with Jesus Christ and the Nephites, and Melissa is speaking on "choosing good friends". I have completed my talk and hopefully it fulfills the time requirement. I really hate standing up there and having all those people stare at me but I know that more than have this message delivered to those out there wrestling with a child or falling asleep, this message is for me and definitely one I needed to study, ponder and deliver. I hope it goes well and I won't be too emotional. I think that is what I am afraid of most. Just recently we (the YW) had to sing during sacrament meeting and it was so emotional hearing all these sweet YW that I have grown to love sing such tender words. The song was "Valiant Faith" one verse went:
I want to live my life with honor and faith
I want to return to His arms unashamed
It's not enough for me to live it half way
I'll follow him fearlessly all of my days
I will live with valiant faith
makes me cry just writing the words so you can imagine how emotional I was singing it. Well, hopefully tomorrow I will be able to deliver my talk without crying through the whole thing! Wish me luck!!!
