So this is a video that the Young Women in our ward did for one of the girls. I thought you would really like to see it. it is pretty amazing.

Another thing I wanted to share, yesterday, as I was sitting in sacrament I noticed a boy in our ward. His name is Chris. Chris is a deacon who as the priesthood and passes the sacrament. As I looked at all the deacons in our ward, passing the sacrament, they all had that frown and kind of tired look, but not Chris. Chris had a huge smile on his face. He looked like he LOVED to pass the sacrament. Chris has Down Syndrome. It is amazing to see this young man pass the sacrament. When he does, everyone that he passes too has an extra tear in their eyes. It is an amazing thing to see. Chris is the most loved kid in our ward. Everyone knows him and everyone loves him because he loves everyone.

Love,

Elder Reese

PS, as I was typing this (Christy here) I kept typing Christ instead of Chris on accident. I am sure you can see how that would be an easy error. As I did it for the 3rd or 4th time I realized that there was almost a double meaning to it. We are so lucky to have those with special abilities come to earth and be a part of our lives. They remind of us of all the pure and good things that happen. Their smiles and innocence can bless us, if we let it. They are probably closer to Christ and Heavely Father than the rest of us and we love seeing the light of Christ shine through them! Thanks for sharing this story Peter!
