Our Grandchildren Are Growing UP

Our grandchildren are growing up in more than just age.  Ezekiel turned 12 Wednesday and today he received the Aaronic Priesthood.  You will also note he is taller than Grandma.  The forecast last night was rather ominous and we wondered if there would be Church today.  We live just a few block south of I-90 and the forecast was 6 to 15 inches of snow along I-90 and north and 6 inches south of I-90.  It was supposed to start after midnight but it did not start until about 6 AM for us with sleet and freezing rain followed by huge snowflakes.   At 8 AM it looked like Church might have to be canceled but it wasn't.  We arrived early which was good as there was lots of snow to remove.  I got my exercise for the day with 20 minutes of snow shoveling along with Gunnar, Qatar and Zeke.  The four of us managed to get all the walks cleared.  I also got thanks from those who did not have to tramp through the snow.  David was the only speaker today as the other two were snowed in.  He gave a great talk on forgiveness and then after Sacrament Meeting he conferred the Aaronic Priesthood on Ezekiel and ordained him a Deacon.  Ezekiel then came home with us for a quiet day together.
