Elder

Today Luke was ordained as an elder and given the Melchizedek priesthood.  This was a bit of a surprise to us.  On Tuesday Luke was asked to meet with the first counselor in the Stake Presidency who is Eden Vera, the bishop that Joey served with.  He chatted with him about the power and the importance of this new priesthood.  Luke said it went good but I did not mention when he would be ordained.  On Sunday, Luke was assisting with preparing the sacrament.  The stake high counselor got up and talked about Corey Partridge being ordained as an elder.  He then asked Luke to stand and said that Luke had met with the Stake President and had been found worthy to be ordained as an elder.  We were surprised!  He was set apart right after the block of meetings.  He was ordained by Joey and given such a beautiful blessing.  So grateful for an amazing son that chooses to do what is right and can be blessed with this priesthood.  The next step will be submitting his mission papers.  Can't believe this is happening...
