This last Sunday at church was my Sunday to teach in Relief Society. However, I didn't know that it was to be a Sunday that the stake's Relief Society presidency was to visit the branch. I didn't think much of it when I saw one of the members of the presidency sitting in the chapel and kinda shrugged it off when I heard they all were visiting. Towards the end of testimony meeting, it hit me that they just might be staying the whole three hours for church. When I didn't see any of them during the Gospel Doctrine class for Sunday school, I thought they had left. I was wrong.
When I saw them walking into the Relief Society room third hour, nerves hit. I wasn't sure if I could teach the lesson all of a sudden just because they were there. I would have been more than happy to have listened to the pianist play the whole time but no such luck. If anything, the lesson went a little bit better than normal because they were there.
The best part was when it was over, the secretary (who I'm used to seeing in my home ward and am so used to having her be in the front of the room and my being in the chairs) came over to me and started talking to me. I think I've seen her once since I left the family ward to start attending the YSA branch a little more than two years ago and she said that it was great to see how I've been growing spiritually. It was rather nice to be able to hear that from someone. I've been put through a number of trials within the last couple of years but only recently (since last May or so), have I noticed any of the changes myself. I just hope that I am changing into the person that I am meant to be.
