In Memory of President Hinckley

On January 27, 2008 President Hinckley passed away at the age of 97. He was the prophet I grew up with and I enjoyed watching the Church come out of obscurity during that time. We had an FHE lesson about him the night after we learned of his passing, and Cade really liked the coloring activity:

I recently got an e-mail about the Hinckley challenge-- to read the Book of Mormon in 97 days. It's a great site that tracks and charts your progress. I've decided to join the 28,000 + people to honor him. There is also a great slide show of Hinckley over the years compiled by BYU students that is also touching. I am inspired by his years of selfless service and endless optimism. He left behind a great legacy. I am also in awe of the smooth transition of our new First Presidency and look forward to the great work in which those great men will lead our church.
