My Mountain to Climb

I was asked last week to give a talk in church today.  When I said that I would do it, I was in shock.  Jeff fell off the couch to the ground and when Lexi asked him what he was doing, he told Lexi that they day I agreed to speak in church would be the day he died!  I got off the phone with Brother Griffiths and started to cry.  I have NEVER spoken in church so this was a frightening experience for me.  I felt very overwhelmed by the whole idea of it.  I got busy listening and re-listening to conference talks!
I feel like it ended up going pretty well.  When I got up to speak, I could not see clearly and I immediately started to cry; I was SO nervous.  I spoke on the talk by President Eyring titled "Mountains to Climb."  I had several people stop me afterward and tell me what a great job I did and how strong the spirit was.  I even got a few thank-you cards.  This has made me feel so good about my decision to say yes.
