Justin's Ordination to Elder

On Sunday, July 27th we went to church with Monique, Keven and the girls. Justin was really excited to be ordained and this is the first week that he felt like staying for the entire 3 hour block. He was not in pain which is a huge step. Keven has just been put in as the Young Men's President and Monique was sustained as the 1st counselor in the Relief Society. This is a huge change for her as she has been in YW and Primary for a long time. She has not been released from Young Women yet but they are having trouble since people are taking last minute vacations.

Relief Society was fun as one sister approached me and asked who I was. I explained that I was visiting Keven and Monique. She said she was trying to figure out if we were related to Keven or Monique. It made me want to laugh, but I said Both! It was fun.

After church, we all went to witness Justin's Ordination by Keven. It was great and the girls were thrilled that they were a part of it. Once Justin was ordained, Monique asked him to be in the circle to set her apart in the Relief Society. He was thrilled.

Due to Justin's nervousness they decided to hold off on Michael so that Justin would relax and it would be done before we left. It was a big day and very busy. We caught Monique walking home from church as she wanted to stay for the other sister's.

We all went to bed early so that we could get up and go to the Twin Falls Temple Open House in the morning.
