My Little Deacon!

This weekend has been one of many exciting moments! The weekend was preceeded with the arrival of the Apple Farmer's parents!! It's been so wonderful to have Grammie and Papa with us!
This weekend is our Stake Conference weekend. Because our Stake presidency was also reorganized, the weekend became quite unique. It has been filled with great adoration for the three men who have served these many years in this capacity! We have reflected on memories of the many ways they have shown their love for the Lord, as well as for us as members. As a new Stake President is called, we have the honor of a visit from one of the Apostles. For us, it was Elder Nelson who came to speak and to call the new stake presidency. Part of this calling process involves a personal interview with all of the stake's Bishops and Branch Presidents within the Stake. This meant that the Apple Farmer had the very unique opportunity to be interviewed by an Apostle of Jesus Christ!
Since Human Resources turned 12 and is worthy of the priesthood, today's very special event took place at our good friends', the Hanson's home. Mason was ordained to the office of a Deacon. The ordinance was performed by his Dad, his Grandpa, Bishop Hanson and his Deacon Advisor, Brother Lichfield.
We are all so excited for him.


Hmmmm. Some little stow-aways were found hanging out in Cody's room!

Having just gone through this ourselves this summer, I can say that having another Priesthood holder in the home is a sweet thing. I love to see the earnestness on my son's face as he passes the sacrament each Sunday. These are the times my mother referred to as her "payday."
