Today Joe and I had to speak in church. We were able to pick any article from the conference Ensign. I spoke on attending the temple. Love it! I really like our new ward. Great bishopric and very friendly people. Even the young man who spoke before me, told me good job when I sat down. We were both told A LOT that we did really well.....and that's always nice to hear. At least we've gotten the speaking out of the way and were able to make a good first impression.
The bishop had wanted to see us before we spoke, I thought "He's wanting to meet us and get to know us a little." Wrong! Out of nowhere, he states that the Relief Society has been needing a new teacher and would I be willing to except the call to teach once a month. Whoa -we've only been here three weeks! But, I absolutely excepted and started trying to absorb the idea.
I have taught in the R.S. many times before -I've served in the R.S. presidency even, but this is a whole new venture -it will be the first time I will be teaching to women older and wiser than myself -women who have more life experience etc.
I know the Lord gives us callings to stretch us, and I do like teaching, so I am excited for the call. My goal is to let the Spirit teach my lessons. If I can do that I will be successful.

What was your topic?
I love that you got to speak in church. Now you can relax for a while.
You know, I recently told a friend of mine, who is a grandma, to pray about something she lost. It's amazing. It really works. Good luck finding your stuff.
Find it! I want.....no...I NEED pics!
I didn't even email you things like promised. I'm horrible. So sorry. Time slips past me.
