During the food I was getting extremely nervous. I started doubting myself if I could really be a public speaker and bless women's hearts. When I got up there I stayed extremely nervous the whole time. It was so crazy because I felt so comfortable giving this lesson at my church. I think it is because I am so shy when I first meet people and I was less comfortable speaking to them since I did not know them. It was a little harder for me this time around and I felt dissapointed in myself for not being or feeling as natural as I would have liked. However, several people came up to me with kind and encouraging words. One woman in particular seemed really touched. I strongly believe if I was there for that one lady then it was all worth it. And of course, I honestly could not speak or have a desire to speak if it wasn't for my Savior so all the glory truly goes to Him. He has given me a passion for this and I am just eager to be a vessel used for Him. 
Vicki and Peggy continually thanked me for coming out to be there speaker. They even bought me a gift. It was so sweet of them. But really I felt like I should be thanking them for asking me. It was such a honor and privledge! The hostesses, that did all the hard work: Vicki (my MIL) and Peggy.
Every thing seemed to go so well. The ladies all seemed to enjoy themselves and Vicki was a great hostess. She seemed really pleased with how everything turned out and knowing that she felt good about a successful night as a hostess put a smile on my face.
