Trying to Be Like Jesus

This story happened in Chile.

Mom, brother, and sister on an escalataor in a mall
Brother and sister make faces in a mirror while Mom shops for jewelry
Mom, brother, and sister passing a store display
Mom buys brother and sister ice cream cones

Thanks for the ice cream!

Thanks for shopping with me.

Boy hums a song while eating his ice cream

I’m trying to be like Jesus . . .

What are you humming?

Boy talking

A song we learned in Primary. It’s about helping people, like Jesus did.

Boy points to two elderly ladies who are struggling to get onto the escalator

Mamá, it looks like those ladies need help.

Boy offers to help the ladies

Hi, ma’am. Can we help you?

Oh, thank you. That would be wonderful.

Mom and kids helping the old ladies on the escalator
Mom and kids waving goodbye to the ladies, who are in a taxi

Max: It feels good to help like Jesus did!
