Jacque and I attended our first Stake Conference today. Elder Rasband of the Seventy gave an excellent talk. Also at the Conference today I was sustained by stake members to be receive/be ordained to the Melchezedik Priesthood. At the subsequent Sunday at our ward, I was ordained as an Elder by Brother Longley, a high priest from the Stake High Council.
As a holder of the higher priesthood, I now have the authority to give blessings of comfort, counsel, and healing to the sick and afflicted. In fact, the first blessing I bestowed was to Jacque, who was ill.
