I was asked to speak in the Riverside Park Branch as the companion to their high Council representative. They are a Spanish speaking branch. Dr. Stringham told me he would line up an interpreter for me and I said I would have my talk translated and I would read it in Spanish. So I had Sister Steimle translate it for me and Sister Guzman, Sister Edwards, and Sister Sobkowicz coached me. It was not a stellar performance, but the spirit was there and helped me to the point about asking the bishop for a recommend. Then I broke down and cried and could not see the paper. Sister Sobkowicz came up and put her arm around me and finished the talk for me. The man that was asked to give the closing prayer, addressed me first, and said what a brave lady I was and thanked me for my remarks. After the meeting we made three appointments to teach more people in that branch. So all is well and over with.
