Scott is obedient and kind. He likes to be a good example, especially for his little cousin. He is such a good friend to his cousin that he always calls him his younger brother. Scott prays every night and every morning. He always wants to go to Church activities, and he loves home evening. He likes to help others too. He wants to help them because he feels good when he does. “Helping other people makes me happy,” he says.
