As most of you remember, my friend Leslie joined the church about two years ago. Shortly after, her nephew Con followed her into the waters of baptism. He submitted his mission papers. He is headed to the Washington, Everett mission. He took out his endowments in the Mount Timpanogus temple. Nate and I were able to be there with him. It was such a special, sacred experience. Leslie was worried about him being ready and able to take it all in, but he said it was amazing. He had a vision of sorts when he was a small boy about heaven. He said he felt and saw heaven in the temple.
He received a father's blessing, in place of a father, from my dad. It was such a beautiful moment. The spirit was strong. I am grateful for a father who holds and honors his priesthood.
