talking
Sometimes I do it too much. We gave our talks in church today and I told Nate not to worry about preparing to much or going short because I would over prepare so that he wouldn't have to speak much. Well, the meeting started a little bit early and then with sacrament being passed it was only 9:20am. that meant 40 minutes to fill. The youth speaker took his 2 and then I was up. I spoke for 40 MINUTES! I mean who does that. Poor Nate. Not only did he only have 5 minutes but he only gave like 2 paragraphs of his talk which I would have really liked to have heard. Luckily he was very forgiving and not too broken up about it. I would say borderline grateful. :-) Oh and I got a calling right after that....me and my big mouth!!!

Ha ha! I've done that before! I had no idea I'd go on so long- I wanted to just sit down and be done. I can't wait to hear what they've called you to. I just got put in as the Primary 2nd counselor. It will be lots of fun.
ReplyDelete:) That made me smile. Look how amazing you are to be able to prepare and deliver a 40 minute talk.
ReplyDeleteHolly, glad I'm not the only one. Hehe! They haven't sustained me but have asked me to just jump in because they need me. I'm going to be activity days lady for all 20 girls. It's gonna be a lot of fun. Glad that they didn't put me into an organization where I will be forgotten about for years. I don't know a lot of people yet and want to be able to go to Relief Society and Sunday school so I can get to know some people for a few months. I knew this was what I would be doing, I'm just a little surprised that it came as quickly as it did. We've only been here a month and they just read our family into ward last week. :-) Excited though.
ReplyDeleteStacey, I wouldn't say amazing. Talkative maybe?...Thanks for the compliment though. Keep us posted on the house. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe must all be in the same boat! If anyone else in our family had to give a talk on the same Sunday I did, they were always glad to have me go first because I usually took too much time and left them so little--which didn't hurt their feelings at all because it was exactly what they wanted!
