My Expereince as an Aaronic Priesthood Holder

I have never treated priesthood ordinances lightly. Whenever I have acted in behalf of the Savior to administer ordinances  I have always been respectful and aware that I am the Representative of Jesus Christ.

When I was ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood I always felt it was important to look my best and dress in a white shirt and tie when helping to administer the sacrament. As I passed the Sacrament I felt honored to be able to serve those in my ward.

When I became a Teacher I prepared the sacrament with reverence. Anyone who prepares the symbols that represent Christ’s sacrifice should do it with humility and reverence. I also got to go with my Father to visit our home teaching families. This was a great experience because I got to see my Father in his role as a Melchizedek priesthood holder.  Helping my Father serve the families we were responsible for was a powerful experience that has taught me how to serve others.

As a Priest I had the honor to pray in behalf of the congregation that he would bless the emblems of Christ’s body. When I spoke the words I always tried to say them with humility because I truly felt that I was praying to my Father in Heaven for those that heard the prayer.

Administering the sacrament was  a tremendous responsibility that helped me feel closer to the Lord and prepare me for my mission and the Melchizedek Priesthood. As a young man I do not think attending church would have been as rich of an experience if it wasn’t for the service I was able to provide as an Aaronic Priesthood holder.

The Lord has prepared the Aaronic priesthood for young men so that they can learn to care for others and in so doing feel His Holy Spirit. I thank my Heavenly father for my experience that I had as an Aaronic Priesthood holder.
