You need me to WHAT???

Have you ever had that thought that you will be having to do something that is not horrible, just not what you want to do? Then circumstances come up and you think you get out of it, but then the universe realigns and you end up doing it anyway? Yeah, me too. I have thought ever since we got on the bus after trek that I would be giving a talk about it. I even started putting it together in my head (don't mock me...I like to be prepared) Then we decided to go to Arizona for my awesome nephew's ordination. (and some pool time with my favorite roomie from college who I don't see nearly enough). Well, midway through the week, his ordination gets postponed. We thought about going somewhere else, but everything kind of fell thru. I knew that this was the Sunday for the trek talks, and knew I was in the clear, but still felt like I would be speaking, which is completly illogical. Sat evening, in the middle of Kung Fu Panda, Dan gets a phone call. He came back laughing. The Bishop needed someone to fill in, and since we were in town...
I saw our Bishop at a reception an hour or two later and asked if the ward would mind financing my chance to see the movie a second time, since I couldn't really concentrate on the whole second half. Actually, I have decided that this is the way to give talks. I don't stress about it all week and ruin everyone's good time. It was on a subject that was near and dear to my heart, so it was easy to prepare, and I'm pretty sure the Bishopric was just so glad to have speakers that they really didn't care if it was any good!!!!
