Storytime.

In 15-year-old Sunday School in the Cedar 5th Ward, our teacher is Brother Anderson and he is completely blind. So these two girls in my class were passing notes and thought they were being all sneaky. Ha! He said, "Heidi, would you please stop passing notes?" And the two girls like freaked out. He must have known they were because of his excellent hearing. :P Then later he asked a guy named Bradley a question about baptism for the dead and asked him how he thought the people recieving those blessings from us felt. Bradley lazily put a thumbs up sign in the air. Brother Anderson waited for him to answer. Bradley put his thumb up again, higher. Then you see his face go, "OHH!" and then he says, "Good." loudly. :P Brother Anderson said, "It's always good when you speak with your mouth when your teacher is someone who sees with his ears." ;) It's easy to forget that he is blind because he's so good at being blind. Weird as that sounds. His lessons are so uplifting, and you can feel his testimony behind it all. He always talks about that scripture, "and the blind man shall see." As you can imagine, that means a whole lot more coming from him than it would any other teacher.
