Never Again

...will we be asked to speak in sacrament!!

We spoke in sacrament, and it went well...in the end! We ran out of time and didn't really prepare very well but oh well, it happens. But when it came right down to it, the Bishop may never ask us to speak again!! I had to teach in primary so once we were all cleaned up I went to the foyer to find Raymond and well I couldn't find him. I asked a couple friends and my brother in law, Jeff, if they had seen him, no one had seen him since elders quorum. It was getting close to sacrament starting so I headed in to the chapel, asked my brother in law to FIND him (he assured me it would be fine, he would come in any minute now), and sat down up on the stand. Well sacrament started, the bishopric kept looking at me nervously and still NO RAYMOND! Finally Jeff got up and went to find him! Raymond comes waltzing into sacrament 20, yes 20, minutes late! I was horrified and terrified I would be left to fill the whole sacrament meeting alone! Raymond had apparently gone out to the car to work on his talk a little more and forgot what time sacrament started!

The bishopric was very relieved to see him show up, as was I! Our talks did actually turn out okay, I was worried I didn't have enough material but I did end up talking for 20 minutes and had to leave out 5 pages of my talk! Everyone in our ward was laughing, so I guess it turned out okay!
