Kaden is ordained a Deacon

Kaden turned 12 on August 24th and that means he is now going to be attending the young men's program at church.  This also means that he is now old enough to receive the Aaronic Priesthood and become a deacon.  It is awesome to me how young the men are when they get to begin their service in the priesthood. They are entrusted with the power to act in the name of Jesus Christ at a very young age, but it allows them to learn how to serve and think of others.  He will begin passing the sacrament next Sunday which is an amazing privilege and I am excited to see him participate in this sacred ordinance each Sunday.  I am so grateful I get to be Kaden's mom.  It is a little hard to believe he is already 12 years old, but it has been such a treat to see him grow and develop and it makes me excited for his future.  I know he will be influence many for good.  Congratulations Kaden!

(we were able to have the ordination at Grandma and Grandpa's home due to grandma just having knee surgery!)
