Grandkids Gifts--Ellis

 This has been a busy year for Ellis.  He just completed his freshman year in high school, his first year of early morning seminary and he finished up officer candidate training for the cadet corp.  He has also been involved in the scouting program and takes piano lessons.  His mom has mentioned to me several times that Ellis has been wonderful to help out whenever she needs it and does it well.  To say Ellis is an avid reader probably doesn't say enough because he loves reading and will often read a book more than once if he enjoyed it.

He is full of surprises.  When he was promoted in cadet corp he was excited not because he was given the promotion but because everyone would have to salute him. Ellis will earn the respect of his fellow cadets by his example of fairness and honesty.  He will work hard and they will know that he won't ask them to do anything that he hasn't been willing to do as well.  Ellis has the gift commitment.  Whatever is required of him he will accomplish it and it will be done well.  I am excited to see what he does for his Eagle Project because whatever it is will be impressive.  Ellis never just gets by he is willing to go the extra mile to accomplish his goals.  What a good example he is to our family.  His talents will bless many people in the coming years.  I salute you Ellis and feel honored to do so.
