Talking at church

I'm not sure how many of you have given a talk, where you have not used any notes. Last Sunday was that opportunity for me. I was encouraged by my Bishop to allow the spirit to speak through me and prepare myself, through prayer, study, and fasting. It was a special missionary week, where we invite our neighbors and friends to church so they can understand and know more about who we are. I have never been nervous about talking... but I sure was this week. It was a leap of faith, and I feel like it strenghtened my testimony. So if you haven't tried talking without a written format, try it, you might like it!! As for me, I think I will stick to the written word. I just got too nervous.
