Freaking out in ASL

So in case anyone didn't already know I got voluntold into an ASL class that is being taught down at the Wall, NJ congregation. I say voluntold because I was basicly told by the ASL CO that I was now in the class. Of course it was still my choice to go or not to go, so I looked at it as direction from Jehovah as to where he wants me. So I've been in the class for a few months now and I must say ASL is just such an amazing language. It's just so much more expressive than the english language and where as in english you are trying to make a picture with words. In ASL you are literally making pictures, so at least for me it tends to stick with me more when it come to meeting and assemlby parts. So I'm starting to get the hang of it and I go to the bookstudy every wed night on top of my own meetings. So I always comment at least once at the bookstudy sometimes twice but there is still a lot i don't know. So anyway this is all just the background of what happened to me last nite. lol

So I got to the bookstudy really early last nite because I was supposed to go over something with the bookstudy overseer, who is also our class instructor, about me praying in ASL after the bookstudy. Usually he is there really early but this week he wasn't. So I'm sitting there and then one of the sisters who is there says something about me conducting. I look around and realized I'm one of only 3 brothers there and I'm the only servant. So I started to get a little nervous but there was still 5 minutes to go. Well another servant who is also in the class with me shows up and so I say something to him about conducting if Joel is late and he says to one of the sisters there "Do you have a head covering." Another brother that was there and I cracked up laughing. Of course I stopped when he pointed to me and says to her it's ok Mike will do it. So I asked him if he knew how to work the video system to play the DVD. He says yeah and then tells me he won't show me how to use it because then he would have to conduct. So we race around getting everything set up. So it's time to start and we are still getting things ready and I'm trying to get a prayer together in my mind in ASL and suddenly I realize my mind has suddenly gone blank. I can only remember a few signs and so I'm starting to freak out and get way stressed about it. So just as we get everything set up and I'm about to start, in come the bookstudy overseer. I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders and I go and sit down in my seat with my heart pounding. I think that was the most stressed out I've ever been over having to take care of a spiritual responsibility. Anyway that was my moment of freaking out in ASL.
