7/24/16 David the Deacon


     Today David became a Deacon. We now have the blessing of having two Priesthood holders in the house. I had the privilege of ordaining David. His Grandpa Mangum, Uncle Doug, Uncle Matt and Bishop Christensen stood in the circle. Heather kindly held squirmy Peter so that Heidi could be in the room along with all the cousins that live in AZ. It was a special occasion. I'm so proud of David for choosing to accept this responsibility and serve in this way. 


     The other big news of today is that Grammie and Grandpa Mangum opened their mission call. They did a Skype type conference call with all the out of state kids. They will be serving in the Baltimore Maryland Family History Mission. They will serve for 18 months. They report to the MTC in mid September. We are very excited for them. They are setting a great example for their kids and grandkids. 


     During the visit I spotted Peter sticking a car into Grammie's shoe. She thought it was pretty funny. 


     Uncle Doug took a moment to play with Peter. Doug is a huge hit with the little boys. I often have to remind the boys not to jump on him with all their might. He loves to wrassle with them and they love it too. 
      Today was a nice day for family visiting.
