Ordained priests ages 16-18 will be able to perform baptisms for the dead and act as witnesses for baptisms."
"The First Presidency also announced a change for 11-year-olds.
The annual priesthood preview meeting to introduce 11-year-old boys to the priesthood will now become a combined temple and priesthood preparation meeting for 11-year-old girls and boys.
According to information now published at primary.lds.org, the purpose of this meeting is to help children understand the blessings of temple service, priesthood service and making and keeping covenants."
