A Talk!?
Not even an hour after I was welcomed into the ward the 2nd counselor in the bishopric came up and asked if I would give a talk. What!? That's fine though. To be honest I am kind of excited. I haven't given a talk in years. I think I was in YWs last time I gave one....back then my talk only had to be two or three minutes. Now it has to be ten. Although I taught a Sunday School lesson this last semester and put together an hour long lesson, so I should be able to do ten minutes. I wish however that I could just have someone else write the talk for me. I feel so inadequate and like I can't teach anything to all of these older people. I am afraid that I might teach false doctrine....and now there is a fresh convert in the ward and that adds to the pressure to make sure what I say is true. I am kind of wanting to just put a lot of scripture and quotes in my talk but I have a hard time expanding on them, so its almost pointless. I guess I will just have to pray as I prepare and hope that the spirit will guide me to say what I need to say....guess I better go finish it while the kids are asleep and at school. Wish me luck!
