The Threat

Our family had the opportunity to speak in church yesterday. We had known about it for two weeks and still waited until Saturday to really prepare. Dennis threatened us not to leave him more than 7 minutes for his talk or else he was getting us all up in mornings at the time he does (and that is way too early). I prepared mine first and he kept telling me I did not have enough material. Well he was way wrong. Kayla spoke first. She is a natural and was not even nervous at all. Then Kody took about 5 minutes. Then I got up and took about 15 minutes. I was so nervous I was having a hard time seeing the clock. When I finished it felt like forever, and I was such a windbag. Hopefully this will mean I won't have to talk again for a really long time. I left Dennis with about 7 minutes though. He was happy when he got a note from the Bishop asking him to condense his talk a little and quit in about 10 minutes. He spoke for about 5 and did really well. Making me feel more guilty for not leaving him more time. The only thing I can say is I am so glad that it is over. The funny thing was after the meeting I bent over to get my bag and as I raised up noticed the group of girls who had gathered around Kody. It was pretty cute.
