Clayton Ordained to the Aaronic Priesthoood

This week was special for Clayton and our family.
Clayton turned 12 on September 12th and is now in Young Men's.
On Tuesday, Sept. 8th he had his interview with Bishop Martin to receive the Aaronic Priesthood. The picture above is him waiting for his interview.



On Sunday, September 13th he was Ordained to the office of a Deacon.
Keenan on the left was also ordained and Clayton's cousin Ryan on the right was ordained the week before. These three young men are growing up to be very handsome.

Here is a picture of Clayton's Deacon quorum. This was Ryan's last Sunday in our ward because their family moved. Dayson is the Deacon's Quorum Adviser.

Boys being boys!
