Sometimes, we can’t miss the magical moments that kids give us. This is a difficult moment to experience easily no matter how much you contribute to the church or 108 times in the temple.

It could be that parents are there and sparkle even more beautiful than we imagine. It is no longer impossible.
Conversation is when one and the other meet.
Conversation is a festival of possibilities, sharing more than you can imagine.

In the festival of welcoming others every day, the boy only spoke English like the grain of a bountiful harvest.
