Power of the Priesthood



We visited the little branch of Parika yesterday. After everyone had left, I had just finished picking up and arranging chairs after a YW lesson. On my way out, I caught sight of this sweet moment. A new member, David, who was baptised the day before, and given the Holy Ghost in sacrament meeting just hours earlier, was quietly being ordained to the priesthood. His wife and daughter were present along with a 17 year old who had been a member 1 week. He was next to be ordained. It was a sweet, quiet moment. Just a little family, 2 elders, 2 priesthood visitors, the branch president and the only other active priesthood member. I was thrilled to be a fly on the wall this day to see the kingdom strengthened with Christ's priesthood authority.
