I don´t know how to feel right now.







Dear People,
There was a lot of sad stuff that happened this week.
On Tuesday I had my last zone conference, and in accordance with tradition, I had to bare my farewell testimony. My deathgrip on the pulpit was all I could do to keep from falling over. I was shaking a lot, and doing my best to not cry. I looked down at the front row and saw that some of the sisters were crying, so I couldn´t look at the front row for the rest of my testimony. I was the first in my group to talk, and after me I was able to hear the testimonies of Elder Grandy and Elder Gubler. After the testimonies we watched Only a Stonecutter. At that point I couldn´t handle it anymore. I broke down and cried like a little girl.
Sunday was pretty amazing. In an effort to get a better church attendence, the ward offered a special lunch for everyone that came to watch the meetings. We had an attendence of over a hundred people. Since it was testimony meeting (and probably my last testimony meeting) I had a great spiritual compulsion to bear my testimony. It was a lot like my testimony at the zone conference (shaky, wanting to cry, etc), but I got through it. I was able to control myself from crying this time.
That´s all I have to say about that.
Love,
Elder David Short
