Well I had to to give a talk yesterday in sacrament meeting. When I got the call a few weeks ago I was really sick and didn't want to even think about. I asked if I could be the youth speaker seeing as they only have to speak jsut a few minutes, he told me know that I am to old and have to speak for 15 minutes. Well I like to talk but I do not like to talk in front of people. Not only that but the subject was a bit rough. It was on The Fall of Adam and Eve. So to get to the 15 minute makr I had John help me. So I make it to church and find out I am the ONLY speaker. The youth speaker didn't show up and the other adult speaker was sick!! So I was asked to make my talk at least 25 minutes!! I asked are you kidding since I wasn't even sure if I was going to make my 15 minutes. When I give talks I write EVERYTHING down, including my thoughts because I cannot think under pressure. So as I am working my way through I am watching the clock as well. I get done and sit down. The choir then sings and the 2nd counsler has to speak now. He had a rough time as well. There really is not a lot of info or rather different info on this subject. He talked for about 20 mintues and we still had about 20 minutes left, so the bishop got up to bare his testimony. All in all it turned out well, at least I am done speaking for a year or more!!! When I was leaving church my friend came up and said that yes I did speak for 15 minutes but just barely.
