I went to a wonderful Stake Primary meeting this morning. All of the talks were touching. One of the Stake Primary counselors, Heather Henrickson, shared this touching story by Elder Robert D. Hales that he related in the April 2010 LDS General Conference.
We want our Esperanza educators to be there. Elder Hales went onto say, "Being there means understanding the hearts of our youth and connecting with them." It means being present.
"Several years ago I was reading the newspaper when one of my young grandsons
snuggled up to me. As I read, I was delighted to hear his sweet voice chattering
on in the background. Imagine my surprise when, a few moments later, he pushed
himself between me and the paper. Taking my face in his hands and pressing his
nose up to mine, he asked, 'Grandpa! Are you in there?' "
