London North Ward - Till We Meet Again

We went to our last ward meetings this week because next week is Stake Conference with Pres Uchtdorf. I'm sad that I won't get to serve and interact with such amazing members. I've learned a lot about myself as well as the church strength in general that I'm so glad to have had this opportunity. One little old lady taught me the most valuable lesson. Peggy is blind yet so strong. She spoke in church last week and her whole talk was stories of how the church started out and what growth she has witnessed. The most important thing I learned was not in a story, it wasn't a gospel topic, it was her pure light and love. She said that she's always hated being the center of attention especially in public. Now that she's blind her fears are more prominent because she cannot see when people are sleeping or when they're not paying attention or talking. What do I have to compare my fear to hers - nothing. I've started to become more comfortable with being in front of people and my self confidence itself has gotten a little boost. Broadway here I come - okay so I'm just joking, but I'll be more willing to do things without the fear of judgment that has always been a widespread aspect of my life.
