On Sunday, we invited our families up to celebrate Bridger getting the priesthood. Grandpa and Grandma R, Marilyn, The W's except Rob who had church meetings, Mike, Grandma A, Jake, Jess, Isaac and Ella were there. We were so touched that Jake and Jess came. When I expressed our appreciation to them Jess said "I know how much your boys mean to Jake, so they're important to me." We could feel their love! The C's had an obligation with Robby's family so they couldn't come. Then Ardell had his other knee replaced on Tuesday so he couldn't come. Amy was in Ohio with Chelsy. So it ended up being a smaller group. Our families are always so good to support us! Our families met us after church. We gathered into the Relief Society room. Bishop welcomed everyone there and then invited Bridger to come up and sit on a chair. Then Matt came up and invited Grandpa R, Mike, Bishop and Brother Christensen to be in the circle. Matt gave Bridger a beautiful blessing giving him the Aaronic Priesthood. He talked about what a special heart Bridger has been blessed with. Afterwards, we went back to our house for dinner. We ate hamburgers, hotdogs, Mare's potato salad, fruit, green salad and jello. Grandpa picked up a big cake for Bridger at Costco but during the blessing, he realized that he forgot the cake. He felt so bad about it but it was no big deal. I had Mylissa throw together a cake while we were putting out the food. But we had a good laugh about it. We enjoyed spending the evening with our families. We love them so much and appreciate their love and support. It was a very special day for Bridger. I'm so proud of him for choosing to get the priesthood. He's worked hard finishing up his "Faith in God." He's had the Articles of Faith memorized for 6 months. Every Fast Sunday, he bears his testimony. I can always feels the spirit when he shares his testimony. It's so sweet and true! He's so excited to get the priesthood and pass the sacrament.
