Ethan earned a couple of merit badges at the Fall BYU pow wow a few months ago, but he hadn’t been awarded them yet because the blue cards hadn’t been turned in. After asking around and getting some confusing answers as to who to turn them in to, I got them turned in so they could be awarded at the court of honor tonight.
We went to the court of honor expecting Ethan to receive two merit badges. When they called him up there and started reading off the merit badges in the pile for him, he received SIX! I guess he earned three during his time with the 11 year olds group, and he moved up to the deacons group just in time to earn one with them.
Expecting two and coming home with six! I thought it was a nice surprise. 🙂
