The transition to my new apartment as been fairly painless so far. With me, anything new brings a certain sense of anxiety. I am happy to report that this is minimal at present.
This weekend, I went to my new ward. Or at least I tried to. As fate would have it, the old time was still posted on the Church's website. Bummer. I did, however, manage to go to the Singles ward (despite my inner-voice's attempts to sabotage my efforts). So, I was sitting in Fast and Testimony Meeting and got that feeling. It wouldn't go away and it became difficult to breath.
The only thing to do in that situation is to get up (never-mind the fact I was sitting halfway through the cultural hall). I had just made it to the back of the Chapel when someone else started to speak. My immediate reaction (now that I was out of the trance) was to turn around and sit back down. Unfortunately for me, it was too late and almost everyone had seen me begin the long walk to the front. Let me just say that there were TONS of people there. I finally made it to the pulpit, bumbled through my testimony, and returned to my seat. Walking back was reminiscent of walking through the Cougar Eat before it was remodeled. Those of you that remember can attest to the fact that it was much like walking on the runway with everyone watching. Needless to say, I quickly left after Sacrament Meeting.
Maybe they won't remember me when I go back next week!

I am sure you did a great job! Sounds like a big ward! That is fun! Do your roommates attend there?
No fears on the testimony. If I know you, and I would like to add here that I DO, then I'm sure it was amazing. So think positively, it was amazing and they WILL remember you. They'll remember you as the amazing testimony woman and when you go back next week, you'll have an in. Look at it positively.
