Honoring the Prophet

About 15 minutes after the news of President Hinckley's passing, Halley started receiving text messages on her phone. One of these said to wear your Sunday best to school on Monday in honor of him. When I dropped Halley and her friends off at school I couldn't hold back the tears. It was so touching to see these young teenagers showing respect, in their own way, to the only Prophet they have known. In my mind it was just the Jr Highs here in Spanish Fork, but on the news last night it said it was all of the state and several surrounding states. I am so thankful to live among such valiant youth, and I'm sure President Hinckley was smiling!
