President Henry B. Eyring

As I learned about President Eyring, I felt like I got to know him a little bit better. Something I did not know about him is that he loves to water paint and many of his friends and family call him "Hal." When I read his talks I was really able to feel the Spirit and I learned a lot. Something that really stood out to me is the importance of keeping the Sabbath Day holy. President Eyring never did homework or other work on Sundays and I hope to be able to do the same thing.

President Thomas S. Monson

This week we have been learning about the prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I learned so much about him as I watched "On the Lord's Errand" and through reading his talks. I have never realized how many stories he tells in his talks. It is amazing the way his talks make so much sense to everyone who listens because there are so many stories. I also got to know his wife, Frances Monson a little bit better. She was an amazing woman who stood by his side in everything he did. From being a 22-year old bishop to the Prophet of the Church, she was at his side supporting him in everything he was asked to do. She will be greatly missed and I grieve for President Monson and pray for a comforting companion to be with him.
