Zac will be the first grandson to receive the Aaronic Priesthood and be ordained to the office of a Deacon in 2015. Granny and I will miss this sacred ordination. I have a special Onyx rock that has the word "remember" painted on it. I decided to give it to Zac as part of his preparation to receive the Aaronic Priesthood in June 2016. I told him that the word remember would be a special word for him. It would remind him to remember that he is loved by his earthly parents and his Heavenly Parents. I told him that both sets of parents had a great deal of trust in him and that with this love and trust, he could be a great Priesthood holder as he prepares well over the next 19 months. We spoke of ways to prepare and I suggested he carry the rock in his pants pocket to "remind" him of who he is and who he can become. He then gave me a prized obsidian pointed rock that I could carry and be reminded of what great potential he has. I know he will prepare well.
