Nerves, Nerves, Nerves

I got to substitute for the Primary pianist today. It's kind of sad that it scares me so much to do this. I love playing and I love being in Primary, but I get so nervous about playing in front of people! I say it's because I haven't ever had any lessons. My piano lesson was Mom showing me where middle C is on the piano and then I went from there and taught myself - which I am pretty proud of. I have accompanied people (in fact, I frequently was the accompanist for meetings on my mission, which may have surprised my parents to read about in my letters) before but it's still one of the most nerve-wracking things in the world to me. Maybe if I do it more, I'll get more comfortable with it. I definitely won't turn down the opportunity should it come again. And, as we were getting ready to go into sacrament meeting, the chorister asked me if she could ever call me to sub for her. Of course!

During sacrament I got to help another ward member who has three little boys. Her husband is in our bishopric so she's kind of on her own during meetings and older two boys are very active. Their youngest was born the day before Brooklyn, although you would never know that from his side. Chase is a very cute chunk. I got to take care of him throughout the meeting. I told her I was more than willing to help her any time. The only week I have an issue is when the choir is singing and I need to lead them, although it would be interesting to try to do that while balancing him on my hip. All in all, it's been a nice Sunday. Now, I need to go to bed and get ready for a new week, which starts off with mediation.
