Cole Robertson

With it being daylight savings, I have lost one hour of sleep. Church started at 10:00 and for me it ended at 3:00. I had a meeting right after. Surprisingly for only having around 5 hours of sleep I am not tired. I know a little boy named Cole that I have grown close to, his father (only at the age of 29) past away. He came to me, sad, confused. He asked if I could sit with him. I told him that I would. I missed my Relief Society class, knowing that I should stay with Cole. He started crying and he told me that his father had passed away. He asked if I knew where his dad was. I told him that he is in heaven. Cole is only 9, I think he understands more than what we think he is able to soak in. This little boy touches my heart. His Grandpa was there on the other side of him not going to class as well because he didn't want to leave him alone to his thoughts. When I was sitting next to him he pulled out the hand out cards with Jesus on the front of it. He saw that there was a video on the back, something you can get when you call the number underneath the photo. Cole said "I have to have that, I need that. I need to learn as much of Jesus Christ as I can." I was fighting back tears! This boy after having his father pass away you would think that he would go in the other direction and not seek for help and guidance. We can learn so much from these little guys. We just need to be open to them.
