Dear Bradley Scott Scherzinger,

Happy, Happy Birthday!  What a special birthday this is as you get to receive The Priesthood!  What an amazing opportunity.

I wanted to do something special for you, so I made you this tie to wear for your ordination.  I can't be there with you right now, but my heart is with you (see backside of tie).  I hope you like it!

I have a strong testimony of The Priesthood.  Brad-- you will get to pass the Sacrament, and by so doing, become a tool in God's hands.  You will help others renew the promises they made at baptism.  Always take pride in your calling as a priesthood holder.  Be an example; serve others. Elder Eyring said, "So if you feel a little overwhelmed, take that as a good sign.  It indicates that you can sense the magnitude of the trust God has placed in you.  It means that you have some small understanding of what the priesthood really is." I know that as you do, you'll grow closer to your Heavenly Father and will be an even better missionary to your friends.  

Elder Eyring continued, "The ordination to the priesthood is an invitation from the Lord to walk with Him. And what does it mean to walk with the Lord? It means to do what He does, to serve the way He serves.  He sacrificed His own comforts to bless those in need, so that's what we try to do. He seemed to take particular notice of people who were overlooked and even shunned by society, so we should try to do that too."

I think it's cool that you are being ordained on Easter Sunday, a day we celebrate when Jesus used the priesthood power to break the bands of death and rise from the tomb.  Enjoy your special day and know I'll be thinking of you!

I love you so much,

Sister Scherzinger
