Priesthood Preview

Tonight we went to the Priesthood Preview with Brandon.  There are five boys in our ward who will be turning twelve in the next year, so they all came.  They talked briefly about what the priesthood is and about a few of the responsibilities of a deacon.  It was good.  They also had us write a brief spotlight about Brandon.  I've included it below...

Brandon loves all kinds of sports.  He plays basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and golf.  His favorite sport is dancing.  It's really basketball.

He is also a terrific student in school.  He has been in the A.L.L. program at Cherry Hill since 3rd grade and has enjoyed competing in Battle of the Books and Knowledge Bowl.

He has also enjoyed being an artist and has created several different pieces using pastel chalk.

He really loves to read.  He has read hundreds of books and is trying to complete the challenge Sis Sorensen gave them of finishing the Book of Mormon by Aug 1.

Being the oldest of 5 kids, Brandon has many opportunities to help out.  He is a great big brother and will often read to his younger brother.

He is liking the Boy Scouts program.  He has just earned his 1st Class rank and hopes to get his Star by the time he turns 12 in November.

He has been swimming several times this summer - and the last time he got sunburned really bad.  He had us take a picture of him peeling and told people it was skin cancer.

He is such a great son.  We love him so much and are proud that he's in our family.
