Inspirational Talk

So, over Spring Break I have had to work. I have been bummed because the kids are out of school and I would have liked to spend the time with them. Today, however, at work was really inspiring. There is a kid that plays basketball, baseball, and track for Wayne high school. He has been all over the Utah news, the Today show, and other places. He only has one arm and to listen to him talk, you would never know it. This kid has so much talent and the best part about him is that he understands what a blessing it is for him to be in his situation. The kids and staff tried to get him to talk about the negative parts of his life and he just wouldn't. Through all that he has been through, he still keeps everything positive. He said that it used to bother him that people would stare at him and he said that instead of letting it bother him, he just says hi to them and smiles at them. He is definitely somebody that I want Braxton to hear talk. This kid has 5 sisters and because he didn't want them working on the farm, he learned at the age of 4 to work on the farm. After he injured his arm (when he was 4) he just learned how to work with one arm instead of two. I asked him what his future plans were and he said, "I am LDS so I will be serving a mission and then I want to go to law school. I think there are a lot of messed up politicians and I want to help the world become a better place." He got me thinking that no matter what life throws at us as long as we have faith and turn to our Heavenly Father we will be ok!
