Yes. Any married adult male who has recenly converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon"church) can be ordained as a counselor to the Bishop. In fact, they are sometimes ordained as Bishops within the first year of their conversion! This is because adult male converts are generally ordained to the priesthood within the same month of their baptism, making them eligible for most positions of authority within the Church.

Be aware, however, that positions of priesthood authority, such as a bishop or bishop's counselor, are not something that you apply or request to do. A Church leader must come to you and ask if you would be willing to fill the position, not the other way around.

Can a mornon priest be the efficiente if you are not Mormon?

Do you mean officiant? Efficiente is not a word. Priests of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are typically 16, 17, and 18 year old boys or very recent converts. They have the authority to baptize and to bless and pass the Sacrament (Communion or Lord's Supper) during worship services. They cannot officiate at any other kind of service or ceremony. A Mormon Bishop (the leader of a Mormon congregation) can officiate a wedding, funeral, or burial of anyone, regardless of their religious affiliation. Because of his religious beliefs, he is required to provide these services to anyone who requests them for free.
