A week ago, Bro. Tolman, who is a member of the bishopric, asked me if I would be a speaker in Sacrament Meeting today. The bishopric wanted a Christ-centered meeting so Bro. Tolman asked if I would also recite "The Living Christ." Although I have had it memorized for a long time and feel secure in reciting it to myself every day, it is different when you have to do it in front of a large group of your peers. To say the least, I was very nervous. It takes about 5 minutes to recite it. Fortunately, with the Lord's help, I was able to recite it with just one minor mistake that I corrected immediately. After I got into it, I actually enjoyed reciting it, but still felt relief when it was over.
What made it a special moment and a very special day is that Alan, Jared, Kyle, Emily, Cheryl, Parker, Milo, and Clara were all there to support me. I love my family and am so grateful for their support.
I was one of four speakers. The first three spoke about a Christmas hymn and then we sang the hymn they spoke about. I was the concluding speaker and after I spoke, we sang "I Believe in Christ."
