How soon after baptism may a new convert be ordained to the office of high priest? It is customary to bestow the Aaronic Priesthood upon a man and ordain him to the office of priest the same day he is baptized, and there is verifiable precedent where one has been baptized and ordained an elder the next morning. But can a man be ordained directly to the office of high priest (bypassing the office of elder altogether), and if so, how soon after baptism?
