Giving a talk

Either Wendsday or Thursday my bishop called me and asked if I would give my testimony on what the temple means to me. I hesitated because I don't do well speaking to an audience of any sort, even if I've known the people for a long time. But I said yes and then for the rest of the week I was totally stressing about it.
So Sunday came and I thought, maybe I should skip church. But that would be unfair since I had already promised to do it. I told a friend and then I told my Bishop, in a joking manner, "I hope I don't start talking incoherently and made a bunch of noise.
But I got up to the podium and I did ok. I just hope I don't have to do that anytime soon!

Glad it all went well. Those kinds of things are a growing experience I think.
