Well, I was totally humiliated today at our relief society visiting teacher conference. I was invited to be in a womens singing quartet. We had one practice, but I practiced everyday at home and thought I had it down pretty good. Well the conference was wonderfull the spirit was strong, that is until we got up there. All the other ladies did wonderfully. But I got nervous and messed up my part royally. My part was weird anyway, it was like an echo. Well I either came in to soon or too late then lost my notes. I felt like asking for a do-over. Our practices sounded perfect. Last time I was in a quartet I messed up bad also, because of nerves. There was one small womens choir I was in were I did my best and actually got a compliment. Oh I feel so bad! The relief society presidency had worked so hard to make this evening perfect and I ruined it.
I couldn't stay for the desert, I got out of there fast. I want to be a good singer and not be afraid in front of people. But I'm just a big chicken.
Don't feel bad. You had the courage to give it a try. Perhaps it wasn't as bad as you thought. Perhaps it was actually beautiful. In heaven you and I will sing a duet -- I hope to have my singing voice then.
