Chris got in touch with him that evening and they made arrangements to ordain him the next day which happened to be Presidents Day! Everyone showed up at the church again and Chris was ordained. Chris is now one of the old people in our ward (ha, ha), but not really. Today, Chris was ratified as a High Priest by our ward because the bishop forgot to do it last week. He went to High Priest group today and I asked him how it was. Chris' reply was, "There is a very different energy level." Our ward's High Priests are mostly 70 or older!!! Congrads Chris!!!
Those who stood in on the ordination were: Bishop Russ Akina, Maurice Thomas, Curtis Williams, Bretton Hadfield, President Hislop (from the Stake Presidency), and Alex Akina.
I guess this is what happens when you have a birthday and are considered "old."

That's so exciting!
That's pretty exciting. We know what its like to be young HP's too though (well, Dave does at least). They set him apart a few months after we got married... the needed an assistant HP group leader. Definitely a different feel though. Congrats Chris.
Happy birthday Chris! You are officially old if you are a high priest. How cool that Maurice was able to do the ordination.
Well your only as old as you feel :) Congrats on the whole High preist part.
We LOVE Maurice! If you see him again before he heads to Norway tell him hi from us!
Chris will NEVER be one of the OLD men!
