Tony and I gave talks in church last Sunday. Tone did great. He can pull a talk out of nowhere the night before and sound interesting up there while I prepared for days and blubbered my way through it. Having kids has made me a basket case. I even get emotional during stupid commercials. Talking to a congregation about the things I know and feel in my soul, let's just say I was a bit of a mess. Our boundaries have changed and we are in a new ward. Now I'm the primary chorister. I'm nervous, but once I start it I'm sure it will be fun. Even though standing in front of a group is not at all my favorite, at least it is kids. I guess that is one of the things I like/dislike about my religion, it stretches you. Doing things you don't really want to do, but in the end makes you become something you thought you couldn't. Like speaking in front of hundreds of people!
(isn't Public Speaking the number one fear?)

Oh Megan, I hear your pain. I have to speak on sunday, and when I think about it, I become totally nauseous. I bet you did great.
meg you'll be an awesome chorister! Abby saw her primary chorister the other day at a basketball game and was jumping up and down telling me mom look there's my teacher!!! The kids will love you!! Oh and get ready to continue to bawl cause (primary songs do it to ya) the other day Abby was singing called to serve while she was getting ready and I started crying and had to gush all over our primary teachers that day for teaching her so well!! So excited for you!!
