He did it!!!

Jon got the priesthood yesterday! I'm so proud of him. We had stake conference yesterday and we knew he was going to be sustained, but one of the counselors in our ward told us that he wouldn't be ordained until the next Sunday. So we didn't plan anything. As we were sitting in conference, they sustained all those receiving the priesthood, then they told everyones room assignments. Our first thought..."wait, what? Room assignments? Is this happening today? Oh crap!" Jon immediately text his dad and told him he MIGHT be getting ordained today, but since we were right in the middle of conference there was no way for us to verify. Luckily they passed the word along to his family, and by the time I was able to call my dad, he was already headed up Apple Valley so he was just a few minutes away.

Sorry to those of you that would have liked to come but missed it. We would have loved to have you there if we would have been given a bit more notice. None the less, it was a great experience and I'm so glad that Jon has gotten to this point. Next step...April 16th temple session here we come! Then hopefully not too long after that (pending my sealing cancellation) we'll be sealed for time and all eternity in the St George Temple!
