We had a dear Bishop who always emphasized the importance of what he referred to as "covenant events"; those things that involve church ordinances and covenants, and wanted families and ward members to make sure to emphasize those in our lives. We had the opportunity to travel to Queen Creek, Az to share with our family the blessing of a new baby, born to Shared and Shelley Harris. It was a great scene to enter Sacrament meeting and see all of Grandma Sherry Toscano's sisters, some not members of the Church, who had flown from Colorado, Illinois, etc. to share. It was also so wonderful, after the blessing was finished, to hear the testimony of Shared's father, here from Utah, thanking family, and especially priesthood holding family, for being there for his newest grandson. Now, our family is still rather new in the church, so Dee and Shared, and Mike (Marina's husband) were the only family Melchizedek Priesthood holders in attendance (Mike and Allison were with us in spirit, Ethan was helping sick Cameo, and Doran and Danyel had to teach their primary class) , but as our family grows, that will only increase, and what a wonderful blessing that will be! The great fun continued after at the Harris house with a great lunch and good times with family.
