I walked into the church we were visiting and was asked point blank by the preacher if I'd lead the singing as their song leader had left town for a couple of weeks. He texted me a list of the songs chosen, sans page numbers, and off we went. It is my firm belief that none were harmed by the process. The best part was I didn't have a week to get nervous about doing something I'm not used to doing, in a language that still feels a bit odd even after two weeks immersed in it.

All that to say, you'll do fine. If I survived I'm sure you will too!

Shucks, the week before, we were visiting a random congregation where they do a much more structured type of service than we're used to. The preacher asked me to read along with him in Spanish (as he read in English) as a celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. We survived that one too!

NOW I'm getting nervous about what might come our way NEXT week!
