I was ordained a teacher in the Aaronic priesthood today. I'm really glad I'm not a deacon because now I'm with the older guys, like Kevin Roach & Chris Hathaway. The only thing I will probably miss is the two great leaders I had. Brother Cliff Abbott was my scoutmaster, and Brother Wade Solomon was my quorum advisor.

The Solomons came over, and Brother Solomon was talking about his days in the Air Force. He went to the Air Force Academy, and he's a captain right now. I wanted to ask which congressional leader nominated him, but I didn't.

In two weeks, our family, the Solomons, Fairbanks, and the Ensigns (Jenni!) get to go boating at lake Texhoma for 3 days!
