"Promotion"

Hey everyone, I'm so sorry, I didn't post anything yesterday, it completely slipped my mind only until I woke up today! I'll tell you about anyway just because my day today isn't worth reading.
In my church, there are certain so called "ranks" you could say that you go up as get older. Once you turn 12, if you're a boy, you become what is called a deacon and receive what's called the arronic priesthood but I won't get into that too much and for a girl, it's a beehive. When you turn 14, for boys it's a teacher (but not an actual one though you do teach lessons on occasion at church) and girls its a miamaid. This next one is what I became, a priest now that I'm 16. Let me assure you though, the title of priest is very different in my church than others and for girls its a Laurel. As a "priest" though, I can do a number of things in the church like assist with ordinations for others but one of the coolest things is that I'm given the ability to baptize others. So, if I were to bring a friend to church and convert them, then I myself am able to baptize them.
A priest at 16. It's gonna be interesting.
