Priesthood line of authority

Today it was Doug's opportunity and blessing to ordain Spencer to the office of High Priest. It is special to note that Spencer was named after the prophet, Spencer W. Kimball. He ordained Doug's father and, therefore, now is part of Spencer's line of authority.

Spencer L. Evans was ordained a High Priest July 16, 2006 by Douglas B.Carter, who was ordained High Priest March 1, 1981 by Bruce L.
