Sunday marked Eric's very first Sacrament Meeting Talk. He was told that it was going to be over the Holy Ghost, and that he should plan to take up about 12 minutes or so. It turned out that he had 25 minutes to fill up. He did an excellent job, and focused on the Holy Ghost's role in testifying of all truth and of its power to change hearts. He ended by relating the spirits in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" to the Holy Ghost (the spirits were subjective and personal for Scrooge, but they had the power to dramatically change him).
There was an incident during the sacrament, where Sarah unintentionally made me start laughing, which was really bad because we were sitting in the front, and we were the only ones sitting in the front, right where the Bishop and Stake President could clearly see us. I wasn't noisy or anything, but I was turning red from the effort of trying not to laugh. It was so quiet that it just made everything worse, plus it was super irreverent. I couldn't look at Sarah at all for about half an hour after, it was awful. Oh, the joys of having sisters make you laugh at church.
In other news, I haven't talked to Olivia in quite a while. I sure hope she's doing well.
