We sometimes get more then we were expecting

As per required policy wednesday just occurred and thus a new post is guaranteed.

As I mentioned in my last post, I spoke with my Bishop about receiving a patriarchal blessing. We agreed with me that it was time to receive such a blessing and I received my recommend for that blessing. On the recommend is a box asking for which position of priesthood is held by the member receiving the blessing. He looked and me and said, "Elder right?" I quickly corrected him and stated that I was a priest actually. He glanced up at me and then said, "Well have we started to do anything about that?" I assured him that we had not and he asked if we could just have my interview for becoming and elder and receiving the Melchizedek priesthood. I felt like this was the correct thing to do and it was done.

What this means is if all goes to plan, and it probably should, I will be receiving my patriarchal blessing this Sunday in Ardmore, Oklahoma from Patriarch Jack, and my father will ordain me to office of an Elder and to the Melchizedek priesthood sometime over Christmas break.

It's amazing how things work out. With stake priesthood conference coming up, if I had delayed in talking with my Bishop and he had not mentioned that fact that I was not an Elder who knows when this would have occurred. It is another testimony of perhaps a coincidence or maybe more. I'll let you decide for yourself which one it is. I know this for sure, it was not a coincidence.

Tonight is Survivor: Samoa and I'm still cheering for Russell! You should definitely check it out if your interested at all. I know I am. Also, coming with Survivor is the office, but I'm going to wait until Friday/Saturday to watch that with Natalie and Jacob. I leave for their apartment tomorrow after class and I can't wait to get back to Stillwater. OSU plays Texas this weekend and I'm personally hoping for the best. Utah plays Wyoming which should be an easy win for them. Chelsea FC plays Bolton this weekend and it should be an easy win as well. RSL plays the first half of their playoff series with Columbus and they have a good chance of an upset if they can pull off a win at home, and they could.

It is of course no matter in the end who wins and who loses as long as the good games are played(and state wins).
