President Gordon B. Hinkley

"President Gordon B. Hinckley, who led The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through twelve years of global expansion, has died at the age of 97.
President Hinckley was the 15th president in the 177-year history of the Church and had served as its president since 12 March 1995."

What a man, President Hinkley was. He led the church and set an example for us to be better missionaries and people. His sense of humor and unconditional love for everyone are just a few of his many attributes. He will be missed, but I'm sure he's thrilled to be back with his sweet wife.

Students at Madison High School dressed in their Sunday Best as a way to honor him. This sign of respect is humbling and I am truly impressed. This morning as I got dressed, I just worried about staying warm and dressed in slacks. The students here continue to amaze me.
