Had my interview with the Stake President today
To receive the Melchizedek Priesthood and become an Elder.
Oh boy, was I nervous. I sat outside his office going over D+C 84: 33-40 in my head.
But It went well, I "passed" so to say, and I learned a lot more about the Priesthood too. It was an awesome experience actually, and I was prepared for it which made it even better. There were two other boys that were like "it was hard!", but no way, I was ready.
I even answered some questions right when I really didnt know the answer, it just worked out well for me.
It feels good to be ready to receive this. If you read D+C 84:41, you can see that its big and I don't want to lose this Priesthood or do anything to compromise that.
They are going to announce it in sacrament meeting next week!

I remember being nervous for that!
I was told the SP wanted to talk to me, and I was freaking out... "What did I do?"
Then it was nervous being with him, but got pretty comfortable after a few minutes.
Isn't it awesome when you can answer "YES!" to those questions, and temple recommend questions?

I wish everyone was like you....asking the famous D&C 84 questions on your expected duties do bring discomfort when the member does not know.
Congrats on your priesthood interview.
