Overwhelmed.

Today was day 1 of studying out of Preach My Gospel. Preach My Gospel is a prep book that is intended to help better prepare a missionary when going out and preaching the Gospel. It's considered a guide to missionary service. I get to have the wonderful opportunity to re-teach this very recent convert {{maybe 2 months he has been a member now?}} the 5 lessons he was taught before he got baptized with this guy in my ward, Seth. Today, Seth and I met after devo where I thought we would just read over the lessons and designate who teaches what...I couldn't be more wrong. No, instead, we did some role playing. I WAS SO SCARED! I was so flustered and he was able to reassure that I already know all of this and it's a matter of putting all of my thoughts together and teaching by the spirit and not just reciting. Well, I connected all of the 8 points {{actually, I forgot to mention the last point simply because I didn't see it}} together and was able to explain to him why each point was important. He was so amazed! It made me feel confident in what I was doing. He kept telling me that he wouldn't be telling me if I was doing an amazing job if I really wasn't because he wants me to learn but he is so excited about me serving a mission and knows I'll do great! I've been super overwhelmed lately. I know I can do this work but it's a matter of having the confidence. Today, I was able to feel that confidence and it was exactly what I needed. This Sunday we get to teach Mike together and I'll be teaching 6/8 points. Next Sunday while I'm teaching Sunday school, he'll have a premie {{a guy who hasn't gone on a mission yet, typically an 18-19 year old}} and himself teach Mike and then the following Sunday {{when I'm not teaching Sunday School}}, the premie and I will both teach Mike and Seth will just sit back and watch us. BAHH! So nervous but so excited :)
