Priesthood Duties

The boys did a great job today of taking care of their priesthood duties. Jonny had Bishop's Youth Council this morning. He was the one that found out when the new meeting time was, got himself up and ready, and then walked over on his own. A little while after he got back, he and Jacob walked over to the church in order to prepare the sacrament on time. Jacob made sure he took the bag with him that he'd need to visit 'shut-ins' after church. It's his month (along with one of the deacons) to take the sacrament to those who aren't able to come to church but would still like to participate in the ordinance. He also sat up with those who blessed the sacrament as well today. (He was one of three and didn't actually say one of the prayers today.) I had nothing to do with any of it. I didn't remind either of them, I didn't wake them up, I didn't check to make sure they were ready, I didn't tell them what they needed to remember to bring them - and then make sure they had it. I did make sure to wash any of their clothes for today that made it down to the laundry. But, other than that...it was all them. I love it when they just do things and that they're to a point where they can manage their schedules and responsibilities on their own. My heart is thankful that they are worthy and choose to take on the duties they have committed to do.
