Nov. 24

Nov. 24: About a week ago a little girl in my home ward called me and asked me to lead the music at her baptism. I'm not very good at leading music, but this little girl is special to me and I said that I would do it. Today was her baptism. My family was running late for it. I thought to myself, since everyone else in my family is running late, I can move slowly too because we'll still be just as late if I did move quickly.
That didn't feel right, and instead I got ready as fast I could and waited ready in the car. This way we weren't all lingering in the house waiting for others. We were able to get to the baptism on time and I was able to lead the music for the baptism. I was honoring my word to the little girl that I would be there to lead the music. Perhaps if I got ready slowly I would have slowed down my family even more and we wouldn't have made it on time to lead the music. I showed integrity by respecting her request and being there on time.
