Yesterday Julia and I were siting in church before it had started. The bishop got up from his seat and came down to were we were and asked if we would talk in church next Sunday. Sometimes I speak before I think. Right away I said YES! The bishop went on to say that we could pick any conference talk to speak on. That is such a huge choice, but I immediately knew what I wanted to talk on. Julia on the other hand was still trying to say yes. She really didn't want to, but accepted. Later she told me that speaking in stake conference was easier than speaking in just a sacrament meeting. Are you kidding?!? At sacrament there are maybe 150-200 people. Stake conference has like triple that.
Last night I was reading through the talk that I wanted to speak about, but then I had other favorite topics come to mind. I texted my brother and he suggested one that I wasn't able to access at the time, but I have since read/listened to it and it pretty much goes with what I wanted to talk about in the first place. So all in all I think I am going to combine 3 talks probably.
Yesterday I also got sustained for my new church calling to which I didn't have to take charge of, but next week I will. All it really is, is welcoming everyone to Sunday School, introducing visitors and assigning prayers.
I am so glad that I ain't afraid to get up in front of people, and I am happy to talk in church. Whenever I feel like I can't talk in front of people I always remember the saying: In order to keep your testimony, you have to give it away.
