Though a boy I may appear...


...yet a man I soon will be.
If I prepare and live clean
in every thought, word, and deed,
I will be worthy to hold the sacred
Priesthood of God!!!

This past weekend, Ammon attended General Priesthood meeting for the first time with his dad. He technically gets the priesthood this Sunday, but since he was already 12 we decided it would be appropriate for him to be there. It was so special for Joe to have his first son with him! After they left for the meeting, I took the other five kids to the grocery store. As we were driving, I passed two stake centers filled with priesthood men...fathers, grandfathers, and sons walking in to the meeting. My heart was filled with joy at the sight. How grateful I am for the restoration of the priesthood and that my own sweet baby will receive that priesthood in just days. He is such a fine young man (as my grandpa would say) and we love him so much. I know he will be a great example of the loving kindness all priesthood brethren should show. As a side note, we realized that by the time Caleb gets the priesthood, Ammon will be a returned missionary! Crazy isn't it?
