This has always been one of my favorite stories about President Grant. It paints such a clear picture of who he was even as a young man. We showed it for FHE as part of a lesson on gratitude (we focused on the poor boy, not Heber).
Oh, and I love the animation style. Really well done, especially for kids who don’t understand or sit well through long dialogs.

We’ve watched this for FHE like 10 different times, not kidding. Always makes me tear up.
I KNOW!!!! I try not to, but it’s such a cool story and so well told. 🙂
How are you and the missus? I was remembering you guys yesterday. We played Ticket to Ride with some other friends.
Ticket to Ride is still a great boardgame to play. It has held up well. We still play it often–just Jocelyn and I. Now we are teaching our son Peter to play it as well.
Life is good up here in Kaysville.
