As we reflect on the progression of things in our church, we are filled with love and gratitude toward our Brotha's & Sista's in this gospel. We have always been bombarded with questions regarding the priesthood from both members and non-members. Many want to know how the revelation impacted our lives (even though one of us was not yet born and the other wasn't even in kindergarten yet) , we've tried to the best of our ability to answer the questions that have been thrown our way. Although it isn't always easy to be put on the spot with questions such as these, it does give and has given us opportunities to consider our feelings about the priesthood revelation, as well as understand the relationship that we'd like to have with the organization. Having opportunities to speak to others regarding our thoughts about certain aspects of our church's history has strengthened our testimonies. We realize that not everyone has been given the opportunity to have the discussion about the priesthood revelation in a safe environment. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We would like to</span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> extend</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> an </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>opportunity</i></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> to all of you to </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>share </b></i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">your </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>thoughts </i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>feelings</b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> on the</span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> <i>"Long Promised Day"</i></b><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">the day that all <i><u>worthy</u></i> males </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(Black Men)</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> were extended</span><b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">priesthood</span></b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">opportunities.
