Just my spin, but I've always thought my LOA to be when I was ordained a
High Priest. However my father also ordained me as an Elder, so I get
correct line either way. :]

I'm at home right now and won't be near a CHI for a few days, but I'm sure
one of the sages in the discussion group knows the answer to this
question: we have a High Priest who ordained his son an Elder just before
he left on a mission, which is ending soon. The family wants to give the
missionary a plaque listing his Line of Authority from his father on back.
The HP wants to use the LOA from when he first received the Melchizedek
Priesthood and was ordained an Elder, because that line goes back through
his own father; my contention is that the line that should be used is
through that of the authority who ordained him a High Priest since that is
what he was when he ordained his own son.
Any quick answers, folks?
