Default 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.

Now you have the opportunity to prepare yourself for your temple endowments.
