Wahoo! It's over! Ammon, Addison and I spoke in church today. I am not a great speaker especially in front of adults. I had the jitters this morning at home before church and I thought surely I would end up fainting or something up on the stand. Avery, Ada and I said a prayer before we left and asked for peace and a calmness to come over me so that I could say what I had prepared. Needless to say, all went well and I spoke way too long. Ammon only had 10 minutes to cram his talk in. I actually feel good about how it went and I am glad that I had the opportunity. I learned a lot as I studied and prepared. However, I hope we're done for a long while!
I'm grateful for the power of prayer and that I was at peace and felt a calmness as I spoke.
Addison did awesome!
Ammon had to read fast and summarize- all good thoughts though.
Man, I never knew that I was so long-winded.
Oh! Ya! Mom and Dad- Christina England- Hale sang "I know My Redeemer Lives" between mine and Ammons talks. Of course, she did a beautiful job!

You are right, we needed to be there. Sorry we were not, though not because of Christina England Hale singing. We listen to her often. I knew you would do well.
God sustains those who serve Him. I'm sure Addison and Ammon did well likewise. You are a wonderful family and we love you all ever so much.
Love,
Dad
Gee, Ali, if you had passed out you
would have been just like me that
Sunday I passed out leading the
singing in sacrament meeting.
When Dad and I gave our going away
talks about a month ago, I took
too much time also, Like daughter
like Mom. I wished we could have
been there to listen to your talks.
I'm sure the musical number was
beautiful also.
Thanks for being my daughter,
Love ya, Mom
Sorry that we missed it! I'm sure you thanked Bishop Clark for recommending you!(ha ha)
