Our Lds friends who know us well, will definetly appreciate this. We got a call from the second counselor asking us to speak in church. We knew it was coming, we have been in this ward for about three months.
So after Matt gets off the phone he has a strange look in his eyes and asks if I want to know the topic. He says "you're speaking on teaching children to worship". I laugh out loud. What??? You have got to be kidding me! I am one of the last people who is capable of talking on this specific topic! So, maybe it's I need the info more than that the ward needs to hear me.
Then he asks if I want to know what he is talking on. Wait, we have different topics? That is highly rare. It gets better. His topic is on resisting temptation..
The interesting thing is that the members in this ward really don't know us all that well and have no idea what we have been through. I told him it was a good thing he was the one on the phone as I would have laughed out loud!!!!
hmmmm, inspired or just really out of touch? Probably the former I am thinking. Anyhow, it should be an interesting sacrament if anyone cares to visit, Roecker's? Hughes?

LOL wish we oculd be there. You will do a good job. If there are two parents that are open with their children it is you two. You amy not see that as teaching your children the gospel, but they feel comfortable asking you questions and you are comfortable answering them. This is important when trying to get your children to understand gospel topics, and later for them to confide in you.
As for the temptation, who better to teach then those who have been tempted and conquered (no matter how long it took or how much trouble you get into first).
You guys will do great. I have faith it will be a great sacrament meeting!! Good luck!
Very interesting! haha I got the irony in the topic for Matt, but I am confused why the topic you got would not be a good one for you. All I know about that is that your children did great in Primary, and you were an Awesome Primary teacher. Going from those two things, who better to speak on that. You should give yourself more credit.
By the way, I would totally love to be in that Sacrament meeting. If you were just a couple hundred miles closer I would consider it. :)
