Sunday Update

I went to the singles ward by myself for the first time yesterday.

I sat in the usual pew waiting for church to start. The Relief Society president came over and chatted with me for a bit. Then the people who always sit in the pew behind us talked to me. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. I actually feel like I belong in this ward now.

The bishop told everyone to grab a seat and start quieting down. Only in the singles ward does the chapel sound like a high school cafeteria.

A guy timidly came over and asked if he could sit by me. I accepted and scooted over a bit to make room. Then he was asked to pass sacrament so he went to sit up in the first two pews. Then two other guys came over and asked to sit by me. Again, I accepted and made room. I sat with these guys all through sacrament. The one next to me had pretty awesome shoes. I wanted to ask him about them but I didn't want to come off as creepy, not even knowing his name and all.

They all introduced themselves after the first block and they asked me a few questions before we all got out of the pew.

It was a nice time in church. I ain't even afraid!
