We walked to church today. It felt so good.
On a sweet note..... Maxwell had the scripture for primary today. I read the scripture then Maxwell pushed the play button on the DVD player so the primary could see the scripture in ASL.

At the beginning of the year the Primary President asked about Max and how they could involve him and she said that they would like the primary to learn one of the songs in sign language for the program this fall. A few days ago she tried calling but our phone had been disconnected because of the move. Today in primary there was a substitute music director. She had the kids sing "Families Can Be Together Forever." Before she started she asked me the sign for family. While she taught the kids the song she kept asking for more signs and eventually the kids had several signs for the song. It was quite sweet to see the kids signing and the music director was very touched and near tears by watching them and told of how she didn't know why but that she just felt moved to do signs with the song. When music time was over the primary president got up and thanked this wonderful lady and told us that it was definitely inspired because that was the song she wanted the kids to learn in sign language and even though she didn't have the chance to tell anyone yet it still happened. So, a beautiful moment of someone following the Spirit and now I get to teach the rest of the signs to the kids next week.

I hope you don't mind, but I shared this with the Stake Primary Presidency. Even though I don't serve there anymore, this is what we were trying to get across to the Primary Presidency. To listen to the spirit and include everyone!!!! Thank you for sharing!
