In the Church today, worthy male members may receive the Aaronic Priesthood beginning at age 12. These young men, typically ages 12–17, receive many opportunities to participate in sacred priesthood ordinances and give service. As they worthily fulfill their duties, they act in the name of the Lord to help others receive the blessings of the gospel.
Upon reaching the age of 18, the higher priesthood, or Melchizedek Priesthood, is conferred upon faithful male members of the Church. The Melchizedek Priesthood holder may administer in higher ordinances such as bestowing the gift of the Holy Ghost to newly baptized members, healing the sick, and naming and blessing children.

Elder Barlow's father, Jeffrey Barlow, conferred the Melchizedek Priesthood and ordained him to the office of Elder by the laying on of hands with other Melchizedek Priesthood holders on July 24, 2022. This line of authority dates back to Jesus Christ.
Elder Barlow's Uncle Kent and Aunt Natalie from Washington were able to be there for the ordination.
Elder Barlow was now able to be interviewed to attend the temple, which he was so happy about.
