It was only my third time conducting Sunday meetings.
I'm still a little nervous and bewildered that I am up there.
This Sunday when it was time to begin signing the hymn to prepare for the Sacrament I looked over and noticed that the Sacrament table was empty!
The young men responsible for preparing the Sacrament had just recently returned from scout camp and had forgotten to coordinate who was going to be in charge of preparing.
So as I stood up we made a quick change of plans. I asked the youth speakers to go ahead and give their talks while a very embarrassed Young Mens leadership prepared the Sacrament. The youth speakers were a little shaken with the sudden change of plans but they did great. After they sat down we then proceeded with the Sacrament.
I have never been in a meeting where the Sacrament wasn't ready. I have seen it cut close, but they always made it.
The first of many stories I'm sure.

Yup! I haven't seen that one yet!
It happened once in our ward. (Must be a California thing.) They moved on to the speakers, while red-faced leaders and boys scrambled for bread and set-up. It was SO WEIRD.
