Matt spoke out at the prison

Matt has really enjoyed being on the high council that is until it was his turn to speak out at the prison. He was very nervous because he was supposed to speak for 35 minutes and he also couldn't bring any notes either. So it was a little daunting for him. He was speaking to one of the women's wards our stake is over and the topic he was given was temple marriage. I think that must have also been part of his reason to be so reluctant. He found out also that while you speak that the women have a tendency to speak out and ask you direct questions too. Well, he spoke and felt good about how he did, but he did have one woman ask him if she could get married to her female partner in the temple. After speaking he decided it wasn't so bad, but then we found out that our stake is no longer over the prison branches as of January 09. So it looks like this is his one and only prison speaking assignment.
