Chase,
I hope you always understand and appreciate this amazing priesthood that you now have. You will be able to use this for so many great things in your life. This is just the beginning of your journey in the Priesthood. As you get older you will get more blessings. With these blessings you will be able to administer more and more of your priesthood to help others. The Aaronic Priesthood that you now have will enable you to pass the sacrament every Sunday. What a great honor and service that you will be able to give to the people in our ward. You will also collect fast offerings with the Deacons in our ward. At the time you received your Priesthood, our Bishop is Bishop Jordan Graff. His wife is my friend Laura and they have 4 sons. Their son Ethan and you played on the same flag football team. The counselors at this time are Bro. Greer and Bro. Workman. All three of these men are great and I hope you feel their love for you. You leaders are Bro. Jason Rucker and Bro. Mike Millsap. The Young Men's president is Bro. Trever Denham. (Bro. Denham has been our home teacher for a few years). They all want the best for you and will do all they can to help you have a great time in the Young Men's program. You are such a great kid with a big heart and a natural ability to do what is right. You are so kind to others and are a great example of friendship to those around you. You are a great son and brother and I am so grateful to have you be the oldest in our family. I am so thankful for your decision to receive the priesthood. This is such a great way to be an example to others. Always honor your priesthood and treat it with the respect it deserves. You are amazing and I love you.
