As many people know, my boys have been hesitant to accept the priesthood. Last week my oldest, Eric (15), decided he was ready to be ordained as a Teacher in the Aaronic priesthood. He, of course, didn't tell me. He tols the Young Men's president and a counselor in the bishopric. I was told by the counselor because he was also called to the presidency of the Teachers' quarm in our ward.
Today, Eric was ordained by his grandfather. I was so happy that tears came to my eyes. I didn't know if this would ever happen, but I am glad that my son not only made this decision, he made it on his own.
Oh, my gosh - this makes my eyes all leaky!! How so very sweet!!! My heart is so happy for both of you!! :) :)
