Mark, I suppose, has been great at lying low because he has yet to be assigned a calling, or a talk assignment. I love having the opportunity to give a talk, but the nerves are relentless!

already
Already in our new ward, I have been called to a new (BIG) calling, and I have been asked to speak. On Sunday I was asked by our first counselor to choose my favorite (is that possible?) General Conference talk that I heard that weekend and speak for 20 minutes on it. Normally, in the past, I have spoken with Mark, so when I am under my time limit, I can sit down and he can make up for my 3 minutes (he's really good at drawing from his well of spiritual knowledge). But this Sunday, I am flying solo. No wing man. So I have to speak for 20 minutes. I have chosen President Uchtdorf's talk: "Faith of Our Father." It will allow me to speak on a few different things, like our new wonderful first presidency: Mark, I suppose, has been great at lying low because he has yet to be assigned a calling, or a talk assignment. I love having the opportunity to give a talk, but the nerves are relentless!

Hey, good luck on your talk! 20 minutes! Oh, and also your calling. You are obviously an great asset to the ward there, but you are an asset anywhere you go. We miss you.
I sang with Jenny Philips. I didn't know that you are related. That's how I know Cristi. Small world, isn't it? How funny! Take care!
Congrats on your new calling. What is it? Thats funny they already assigned you to give a talk. When I know I am about to move I go ahead and prepare myself on giving talks, b/c it always happens to new people in the ward. Well, I know you will do great...even with out having your wing man.
Hey, good luck on your talk- thats a long one! You do such a great job in all that you are asked to do, I am sure you will do a great job on it and in your calling. Isn't it weird how men seem to get out of talks and callings a lot more than women??
Oh, I feel you. I Just get nervous when they ask me to say a prayer in sacrament. I just recently got a fairly big calling also, YW secretary...a lot of time I spend on it, but I really like it. SO...whats the calling!
How did your talk go? I bet you did AMAZING because you're just awesome like that. Whats the big new calling?? Whatever it is I know you will be great at it. You're awesome. I love you Jayci Facey!
I always get totally nervous. I don't know why! give me someone one-on-one and i'm all over that, put me in front of a group? no way! but i'm sure you did fantastic!
Hey that should be "fun" to speak for 20 minutes. Wow thats a long time. Mark and I had to speak in our ward within 2 months of being in the ward. Luckily I got to share the time with him. So whats that BIG calling???
I'm sure you did well--although I must say I would be very scared to speak for 20 minutes too! Now, what's the calling? You have us all dying to know! :)
I'm probably one of the few people on the planet that wouldn't have a hard time filling up 20 minutes ;) I know everyone just loves to hear me talk, so it's easy! J/K Anyway, I hope it went well. SO....when are you going to tell us what the big calling is? I don't envy you. I can't wait to get to Dover and NOT have a calling, and to have my husband home on Sundays, and able to sit with us after 2 1/2 years of not having him!!! Take care and fill us all in!!!
Stan and I were also just asked to speak in Sacrament Mtg a few weeks ago-on service. (Not Stan's favorite thing...talking, that is, not giving service!) Anyway, it turned out well but I also played the organ and Stan volunteers to lead (so he can sit by me). I'm sure the audience thought it was the Judd family hour!
calling? ??????
