Oh to be a child again

Today I was tutoring this boy and he was just full of life and stories. Everything we would read or do he had a story for me. It was quite entertaining. My favorite part was when he was reading a sentence and came across the word, "festival" and said funeral instead. When I corrected him he said, "I am always getting those two mixed up." Jokingly, I replied, "I hate it when I forget that a funeral is not a festival." He looked back at me and seriously and a little excited replied, "Me too. I am glad it happens to someone else besides me!"

To be naive and worry free like a child again would be amazing. They are so close to the Savior because they are so like the Savior. They can just love others for who they are and what they have to offer the world. This is why I chose to be near them everyday of my life. I want to be more like that.
