Ebony and Ivory

We have had a great time getting to know little 2-year-old Ramsey as we teach his mother about the gospel with the two missionaries. He was very shy at first, and clung to his mom, but Brad didn't give up, and continued to smile at him and try to shake his hand. Eventually, he started to hold Brad's finger, and finally, felt comfortable enough to climb onto his chair. We have found that our time in this humble little cement two-room house has been the highlight of our days. The room is small, but we would rather be there with this little family, sharing the plan of happiness with them, than be anywhere else!

How sweet! The kid-loving grandpa couldn't leave a child like that alone! Give him some time and Brad could make friends with anyone. We are so happy that you are happy! Does that mean you won't be using your return flight this week? Love you both!
