I was talking with an old friend of mine who had gone to the assembly just a couple of weeks ago.
He told me the story of a young boy, who went with his mother door to door all his life, from a very young age. Apparantly, the boy was upset when his mother when to pioneer school without him back when he was 4 years old or so. But, of course, he was too young to attend the school, so his mother went without him.
The boy is now 11, a regular pioneer, baptized, and very disappointed for he will not be allowed to go to pioneer school until he reaches the minimum age, 16.
What a fine example everyone!!
Poor kid is missing out on his childhood. I imagine the whole audience clapped big time in support when he talked about not being able to go to pioneer school.
What a waste of a childs life.
