Packets in, calls received, Temple attended, now last but not least the Farewell talk. The only think that was missing was Ben. He had already given his and was long gone. Now it was my turn.
I was given the topic of Missionary work and what I expected for myself for my own mission. When all was said and done I can't remember what I said. I do have a copy of it saved somewhere. All I remember in preparing for this talk was that I wanted to find some stories or poems to lengthen it. They have a way of saying things that I don't have.
When I finished giving my talk everyone said it sounded great and that I would be a great missionary. I hoped they were correct and not just saying that to be nice.
After Church all those that I had invited were welcomed back to my parents place for a small luncheon.
