Giving Talks

Tomorrow is Sunday and I have to give a talk. I guess have to give isn't really right. I agreed to give a talk. I really hate giving talks. But I am always glad that I did when it is over with. I just gave a talk about a month half ago. I used that to justify why I shouldn't have to do it but that didn't work. When I heard the topic I said... I gave that talk about 4 years ago.

While complaining to my sis-in-law about it we came up with a great way to start... "I gave a talk on this subject 4 years ago and since most of you are new and haven't heard it I will just give that same talk again." (the problem with that talk is I was asked to speak for 3 years on this same topic at the local FH fair. After doing this 1 time I quickly added Mike and it became a team effort. Last year we told them... we are folding up our tent and going home.

When we lived in Ca I became the holiday speaker. I talked on every holiday there was possible. I have talked many times on Mother's Day. Each and every time I talk I tell them that one day the Prophet is going to make it illegal for moms to talk on Mother's Day or talk after the Primary children sing.

Ugh... the only good thing about giving the talk tomorrow (I was originally scheduled to give it on the 31st but was asked to speak early) is I'm hoping most people will be out of town. I wonder if we have to give talks after we die?
