Today Jack was presented to the ward as having been interviewed and found worthy of receiving the Aaronic Priesthood and being ordained to a Deacon. The ward did sustain him in this and during his first deacons quorum meeting I was blessed to confer the priesthood upon him and ordain him to the office of a deacon. It was a great experience for me. Had Dave and Dan in the circle with me along with the bishopric and the deacons quorum advisors. It was a great privilege to confer the priesthood upon my son. I am grateful for the blessing of being a father to wonderful children, for the opportunity to watch them learn and grow. Truly it is a wonderful thing and it was great to feel of the Spirit today and to participate in this blessing for Jack and for our family.
I do want to mention that as Jack was sitting in the chair and we were getting ready he decided to give everyone a pre-ordination high five. It was funny. It was Jack. He was thrilled with this ordination and has been looking forward to it. It certainly touched my heart when he went up and was sustained. Grateful for his faith and his goodness. Grateful for the faith and goodness of each of my children.
