President Monson

I just learned that Thomas S. Monson, the prophet and president of our church, passed away from old age last night. He has been the president of the church since 2008, so he is the only prophet that our younger kids are familiar with. I always loved President Monson, even before he was the president of the church, especially for the stories he would tell in his church talks (which always drew my interest especially when I was younger, and in recent times).  He has given his life to serving the church (and is well known for serving individuals) for years, since he was a young man with a young family. We will miss him!
