Calvin got the priesthood

Today was a big day for Calvin. He got the priesthood. 

When he first turned 12 he was at all interested in getting the priesthood. He continued to attend nursery in Houston and then moved up to sunbeams. when we got back to SD he went to sunbeams for fall and then moved to CTR 4 with Jo in January when the classes changed. 

After we got back Calvin did express some interest in getting the priesthood so dave told him he needed to attend priesthood quorum and wear a shirt and tie. Calvin has been doing those things for months.

Lately Calvin had started saying he was ready to get the priesthood.  Then, a few weeks ago there was a meeting for the young men about the importance of the sacrament.   After that fireside Calvin was very gung ho and asked constantly when he could get the priesthood.   Dave was out of town last week so I made the appointment for today.  He interviewed with the bishop before church. During church the bishop called him up to the stand and said he was ready to receive the priesthood, and then after church Dave ordained him to be a deacon in the aronic priesthood.

Pretty amazing.
