Literally! Tristen was ordained a Deacon in church today. When the youth in our church turn 12 years old they graduate from Primary to Mutual. The girls go to Young Womens (of which I am a leader) and the boys go into the Young Men's program and receive the Priesthood. The first level of the Priesthood is the Deacon's Quarum. The Bishop interviews each boy to make sure he's worthy to receive the priesthood, then he's sustained in Sacrament Meeting and set apart (given a special blessing) later that day. Both sets of grandparents and Tim's brother and his family came out for it. One of Tristen's big responsibilities now will be to help pass the Sacrament on Sundays. Good job Tristen!

Congrats to Tristen...I know he will do a great job of being a Deacon. It is so hard to watch them grow up isn't it. My oldest one will be 38 in April, when I thought of this I almost cried. I still see him as my baby.
