Last weekend we drove to Shannon's home to be a part of Payton's Priesthood Ordination. - In our Church- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints- Worthy brethren may receive the Aaronic Priesthood and be ordained Deacons when they are at least 12 years old. (read about it here and here)
He was so excited and so prepared- he truly is "A Young Man Prepared"! (We gave him a small box with an inscription we had put on it; what we believe- How a true Honorable man honors the Priesthood.)
Shannon and Scott are very diligent parents- what a blessing .
They had everything so nice- a feast for a breakfast....with Scott's awesome pancakes....and the night before, Shannon's salad and BBQ was fabulous! Plus, later that night we had homemade scones....with Honey Butter! Happy Day!
All these children are wonderful!
Thanks so much Shannon for raising a sweet, loving, funny, Young Man.
Our visits are always too short...but it helps to be sent off in macarena dance style-
Note-
Anna and I found a little time to "craft" together- The Wish Bracelet
We each made a bracelet...then tied it on each others wrist....while making a wish. When the bracelet falls off, we will share our wish.
(Anna was is such a hurry to hear my wish...that her bracelet fell off very quickly (wink) so we made another one for her and tied it with another wish- Happy Day)
