At the age of 12 he received the priesthood and from that time on he has been a faithful worker in the church. No position was too large for his abilities or too small for his undivided attention. He faithfully responded to every call.

He courted and won for his own Leuella Nield and they were married at Paris, Idaho March 14th 1916 when he was 24.
