Priest Ordination

Josh was ordained a Priest by his father today.  Josh's family, grandparents, and his cousin Zach attended the ordination.  It was a powerful blessing and such a neat experience to see Jim ordained his son to be a Priest.  After the ordination, the Bishop sent him on his first official assignment. I love seeing Josh serve the members in the ward.

Josh was ordained a Priest on 8-26-12

Josh's dad performed the ordination.
