So I am experiencing what I call "mission anxiety flashback". I call it that becuase with my new calling, I am feeling similar anxiety as I did when I was a missionary (at times). Sundays were tough because I would be running around trying to make sure that no one was sitting alone, or looking lonely. And the worst was when I didn't really know what to say to stir conversation.
Now imagine that experience and tag it to teenage girls. I don't remember what I liked talking about when I was a teenager. And it's hard to know what to do when they are sitting alone. It's only a couple of girls that are like that. Fortunately, some girls notice the ones that are alone, and they go and talk to them. On the mission, I remembered sending the outgoing to talk to others. I am learning to do the same. It's funny.
Why can't I just relax? Mission anxiety flashback I tell you. I think I will probably have these bouts for the rest of my days. Ugh. HOWEVER, I really love being in Young Womens. These ladies are fun. I love hearing their testimonies. They are strong. They have a lot to face.
Speaking of missions, the missionaries invited Dan and I to find a future investigator to be taught in our home in two weeks. AHHH! The days are counting down! I hope it happens!!!
