So, I purchased a red bag (red because that is his favorite color), then I printed out a picture of John the Baptist conferring the Aaronic Priesthood to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. I cut out the picture and attached it to one side of the bag.
Then I put the bag in an obvious place. Currently it is sitting on a banister that is visible as soon as you enter our home.
As a review, here is our tentative list with some slight modifications already.
- day 1 - letter from grandpa c. his testimony of the priesthood and how it has helped him and how he has helped others.
- day 2 - letter from grandma c. same as above but from a grandma perspective.
- day 3 - an inspirational gift. i am going to give him a "hold to the rod" keyring. you can see what this is here, but it is a terrible picture.
- day 4 - letter from grandpa h. same as the other letters.
- day 5 - a framed picture of the Book of Mormon Prophet, Ammon.
- day 6 - fhe lesson on how the priesthood was restored.
- day 7 - priesthood line of authority bookmark. we requested nathan's line from the church and i am going to make him a bookmark to put in his scriptures.
- day 8 - for the strength of youth book, fulfilling my duty to god book, and true to the faith book.
- day 9 - letter from mom. my testimony of the priesthood and how the priesthood has helped and blessed me. plus whatever else i decide to write.
- day 10 - date with dad. they'll go somewhere great and discuss any questions jared may have and how he's feeling.
- day 11 - a new suit. (this will be just in time! the one he has now is getting a little snug.)
- day 12 - today's the day. his gift today will be his ordination to the aaronic priesthood.
