Florin Blesses Sacrament for the First Time

Florin in his new suit is sitting in the chair in front of his favorite missionary

Florin joined the church a few weeks ago. His car wash boss would not give Florin Sundays off to come to church then he quit paying Florin. When he asked for his Sundays off and for his pay he was fired! Since Florin lived in an apartment owned by his boss he was also evicted! Rather than being upset he just went out and got another job and apartment. He also was able to come to church on Sundays! He received the Aaronic Priesthood last week and prepared all week to pass the sacrament. He even bought his first suit and tie. He showed up to church with a new haircut and a new suit and glow on his face.

When he blessed the sacrament he had to do it about 4 times until he got it perfectly right. When he was finished we "thumbs up" him and President Aiken stood up and congratulated him on getting it right and told him not to worry about messing up because when he (President Aiken) blessed the Sacrament the first time he had to do it SEVEN times before he got it right! It was handled well and Florin is on top of the world now.
