We are blessed to have two priesthood holders in our home now. Jacob was ordained a deacon by Phil during Priesthood meeting today at church. Such a simple thing for such an important ordinance. Jake was given a beautiful blessing. We are proud of him for his desire to hold the priesthood, and his worthiness to be able to do so. He is nervously excited to pass the sacrament with the other deacons next Sunday.
With three boys just starting to come of age to hold the priesthood, today was the first of many ordinations to come. We love you Jacob!
I have to add a funny note...Jake was called up by the bishop to the stand to be sustained during sacrament meeting. Our usually very confident Jake got a little nervous. He couldn't even smile up there! (Didn't help that the bishop talked for a few minutes with him up there). This ward is probably 1/2 the size of our ward in Eagle Mountain. Jake came back down from the stand and whispered, "it's scary up there!" Poor boy, he's already been assigned a talk in February. Gonna have to conquer that fear quickly!

We are so proud of you Jake! Too bad we don't live closer. We'd come to your ward just so you could pass the sacrament to us:)
