Teaching with a General Authority in the Room

You may all remember that in May of 2009, I was asked to speak in Stake Conference. I am not at all afraid of public speaking so I said, "yes." Then I found out that Elder Dallin Oaks would be visiting this conference and I was really terrified. When it was over, I was releived and thought to myself, "Whew, at least I will never have to do that again." Well, I learned once again to "never say never." Yesterday in Sacrament Meeting we had a surprise visit from Elder Risenmay of the Seventy and he spoke in Sacrament Meeting. It was a wonderful speech and we really enjoyed it. Then afterward, I began to set up for Gospel Doctine class and Elder Risenmay and the Stake President sat down and appeared to be going to stay. I kept thinking, "Surely they are not going to stay for Sunday School." But, sure enough they did, and once again I find myself in the terrifying position of presenting in front of a General Authority. I will not say that this will never happen again, but I think the odds are definitely against. Lightning, having struck twice, can surely not come to this same place three times, if so my heart will surely give out.
