Todd Holds the Aaronic Priesthood

                                                                               Love this Wilson Family! 

It was great to also be able to see Kate and Jack in their Primary Program. They had their parts memorized and said them with feeling and understanding. And they knew every word of every song...impressive, Kate and Jack!!! Good job!

Love this pic of Grandpa with his two Wilson guys!

What a special time it was to take Grandma J with us to Rupert to be a part of Todd's special day when he graduated from Primary, received his Faith in God Award and most importantly, received the Aaronic Priesthood. It is doubtful that Todd even begins to understand how much heavenly power he now has access to as he learns to use that priesthood to serve others. But as time goes on, he will see and understand! It is wonderful to see that in his family he is already acquiring those virtues that allow him to exercise that power in Christ's way: virtue, persuasion, long-suffering, gentleness and meekness, and love. We are so grateful he has a dad who exemplifies those qualities in all that he does as he uses his priesthood to serve his family and others.

We hit the jackpot by also being able to enjoy their ward's Children's Sacrament Meeting Presentation. Kate and Jack did a great job on their parts and knew all the songs so well. We love the Primary songs...they are so full of gospel doctrine taught in such simple and powerful ways.  We are grateful that both important events happened on the same day...what a treat!

After the ordination, we came back to Lori's for chili, cheese baked potatoes and then we cleaned up and they loaded the van to head to Jackson for their family condo week. Greg headed on to Burley and Nevada for a two-day business trip and Mom and I rode back to Blackfoot with Brad and Lori. Brad then drove Mom's car home (with  her) so she didn't have to drive after dark. Brad, thank you so much! Lori and the kids followed and picked him up at Mom's. It just couldn't have worked out better all the way around.  What a wonderful day! Love you all!
