My name is Helaman Omar Valle. My mommy and daddy named me Helaman after a great prophet and warrior from the Book of Mormon. Omar is my daddy's name, another big pair of shoes to fill.
My mom started labor during church the day before I was born. Her and dad went to the hospital at about 9 the next morning, and I came that evening. They had a lot of fun waiting for me to get here, and they were so excited when it finally happened.
I was so cute when I was born. All the nurses kept saying I was "perfect." I looked just like a little man. Mom and dad thought I had mommy's eyes and daddy's nose and ears. And I really was perfect.
