 Elder Hale
We went to a community pancake breakfast that was a fundraiser for the Nauvoo Fire Department. Many of the LDS missionaries came. This young man is named Elder Hale and is a 24 year old service missionary who has Asperger syndrome. We heard him speak in Sacrament meeting first Sunday we were here. He spoke about what it is like to be of service here in Nauvoo. He spoke very well and with good eye contact and without notes. I saw him this morning and I asked if I could take his picture. He said yes but then asked “Why do you want to take my picture Sister?”. I just told him I had become attached to him. What I didn’t say was he reminded me so much of our grandson Reed who also has Asperger syndrom. Makes me cry.
