Excited but nervous

[Jsmith85]

So my bishop pulled me aside at Sacrament to ask me to schedule a meting with his secretary because he has a calling for me. I'm nervous but excited as I'm one of those people who just can't sit in a pew, I have to serve.

I will - the meeting is on Tuesday morning. Although I've a feeling I'm going to be called to some sort of teaching.

I hate it when the Relief Society gets its first choice of all the best people.  If you had been called to teach the High Priest I would have traveled to Tucson just to experience your lession.

If I had been called to teach the High Priest - well that would have been interesting especially since I'm technically still a recent convert.   But if you want a lesson experience I'm sure that can be arranged.

I few years back I attended church in Taiwan while traveling for business and experienced a lesson from a recent convert there.  I talked to the gospel doctrine teacher after class (he spoke in broken English).  Since I did not understand a word of the lesson (I do not speak Chinese and did not understand a word in Sacrament Meeting either) – I asked what was the lesson?  He responded – “The gift of tongues”. 

I love lesson experiences.
