I figured I might as well get this out of the way. It is probably going to get me killed by every important person in my life.

Evg. Hobert Williams and I are a couple. Although I got to know him during the course of coordinating the Convocation in Noble Valley, we had met before at other Convocations. I am usually so busy at the convocations that I never notice anyone, which was the case here.

I wanted to keep our relationship a secret until after the Convocation because of exactly what happened. Evg. Williams wanted to tell everyone, but I didn't. Blame me for that.

Anyway, I wouldn't have had to tell anyone, except that Evg. Williams told Eld. Hayesforth. MariBeth, Evg. Williams, Eld. Toby Hollings (a friend of Evg. Williams), and I were in the hotel room watching a movie. (Ya'll, please don't read anything into that.) Eld. Hayesforth kept coming to the room, knocking on the door. I have no idea why he was doing that. Eld. Hollings got upset and wanted to go say something to Eld. Hayesforth. I kept everyone not to worry about it. Finally, Evg. Williams got tired and went and talk to Eld Hayesforth. Evg. Williams told Eld. Hayesforth that we were in a relationship.

Eld Hayesforth called me out into the hallway and asked me if it was true. I told him that it was. That was that. Needless to say, Eld Hayesforth is mad at me. MariBeth is mad at me. I hadn't even told her and she is my bestfriend. She can't hold water sometimes.

I was mad at Evg. Williams for awhile because he took it upon himself to tell Eld Hayesforth about us. To which, Evg. Williams said, "We shouldn't have tried to keep things secret. Somebody would have found eventually. I am glad it's out now." He said something else, but I ain't telling ya'll what it was.

Hopefully, now, folk will leave me alone.
