Last night Tres was ordained to the office of an Elder and given the Melkesidek Priesthood. As I sat across the room and watched my little boy become a man, my heart was filled with gratitude for the blessings of the gospel in my family. I looked over at my sleeping infant. That was Tres only yesterday. How fast it all goes. I am thankful that my children know the purpose of life, that they know where they came from and how to return to Him. My first born, my little baby, the one that taught me how to be a mother in Zion, has grown up, and as sad as it makes me to know he will be leaving soon, I am thrilled to watch him grow both physically and spiritually.(hopefully not much taller though-how do buy a suit for a 6'1'' kid with a 26" waist!) I know he has a testimony. He has a deep love of our Savior. He knows his scriptures, and loves the gospel. What more could this old mom want?!

I CANNOT believe this! He is still a little boy - right? No, I can believe it b/c my babies are 24 and my oldest baby is 40 - that really hurts! b/c I'm still 40 :) Tell him that our whole family is really really proud of him and his worthiness to become an elder. Mission is next :)
