And at the center of the New World, Joseph was born, who was son to Roger, son of Juan Alfredo, son of Francisco, son of Gregorio, son of Lezama, direct descendant of Elishama, son of Ammihud, descendant of Nun, son of Oshea, descendant of Kemuel, son of Shiphtan, descendant of Tahath (the second), son of Elahda, son of Tahath (the first), son of Bered, son of Shuthelah, direct descendant of Ephraim, son of Joseph, who rose second in power over Egypt, son of Jacob who is Israel, son of Isaac, son of Abraham, who made the covenant with God, son of Terah, son of Nahor, son of Serug, son of Reu, son of Peleg, son of Eber, son of Salah, son of Arphaxad, son of Shem, son of Noah, who built the ark, son of Lamech, son of Methuselah, son of Enoch, son of Jared, son of Mahalaleel, son of Cainan, son of Enos, son of  Seth who was in the image of his father, Adam, the first man on earth.

Joseph did not believe in the Gospel by faith. He knew the Gospel to be true by family historical data. It was factual to him. In this lay his strength. And Joseph was aged twelve years hence he was mistaken for a child and escorted within the Temple walls. And the Temple Workers of the City of Angels sought to have sport with little Joseph and offered to make him a High Priest.
​​​
“Hey, look at the midget, look at the midget. Hey midget how would you like to be a High Priest?”
​​
“I would like that very much,” Joseph said.
​​
“Sit here in this small chair, a small chair for a small boy.” Joseph sat in the small chair and he was ordained a Priest.
​​
“You were supposed to ordain me a High Priest.” Joseph said. “Instead, you ordained me a Priest in the lesser Priesthood.”
​
The lesser priesthood is divided into three schools; Deacons, composed of twelve and thirteen year olds; Teachers, composed of fourteen and fifteen year olds; and Priests, composed of sixteen and seventeen year olds.
​
“We were just joshing with you, kid.” said the Temple Worker, “We’re not really going to ordain you a High Priest.”
  
“So, you are a trickster in the House of the Lord?” Joseph inquired.
​
“He’s got you there.” said another Temple Worker.
​
“We are in the Temple of the Lord.” Joseph reminded. “You and I entered into a covenant and have agreed that you will ordain me a High Priest.”
​
“What will I get in return?” said the Temple Worker.
​
“You will not tempt the Lord your God into making me believe such ordination can be bought,” Joseph condemned, “but if you would but receive a small want, let it be; Health in the navel, marrow in the bones, strength in the loins and in the sinews.”
​
Joseph then sat in the highest chair and the Temple Workers knew they had no choice but to proceed to ordain him an Elder as they thought. There are two schools in the Higher Priesthood; Elders, composed of eighteen year olds and over; And High Priests, composed of forty year olds and older or special circumstances.
​
   “Behold, I am sitting upon a high chair and if the Gospel is true, and if the Church is perfect you will ordain me a High Priest; a high chair for a High Priest.” Joseph suggested.
      
And the Temple Workers unknowingly were observed by the Temple’s President, and ordained Joseph a High Priest, saying amongst themselves, “We are doing no wrong.”
​
Afterward they noticed the presence of the Temple’s President, “Now that you’ve made him a High Priest, why do you not give him all the keys that go along with it?” He asked sardonically.
​
“Oh come on, President, we were just having some fun.” said a Worker.
​
“You do not have some fun with the Priesthood!” said the President, “Now amend upon him the keys or I will do it myself!”
​
“Alright, Sir, we can do it. You don’t have to get sore at us.” And so they thus gave unto Joseph all the keys corresponding, the ordination, as the Temple President instructed, to include the keys to bind that which is on earth to be bound in heaven. And Joseph walked the earth with the power of God...within...and he knew it not.
