So today was a big day. Jackson turned twelve yesterday and was ordained a Deacon today after church. I am so proud of him. Not sure there is a better twelve year old boy in all of the world. He is so prepared and so mature. He seems to have such a good understanding of his duties and what having the Priesthood means. His ordination was beautiful. The blessing was so fitting for Jackson. Shawn blessed him to have strength through the next few years. To be able to withstand the temptations that would come to him and to be a strength and a beacon of light to his friends. The spirit was very strong. Last year when we went through the open house at the Draper temple Jackson talked about the peaceful feeling he felt there. Today after the ordination he said he felt that same peaceful feeling and he recognized it as the Holy Ghost. He is excited about going to the temple and doing baptisms and fulfilling all of his duties as a Deacon.
Twelve is a great age, I wish we could stay here awhile.
