We are deeply saddened by the news from the Michigan church shooting, yet profoundly grateful for the inspired teachings of our beloved leader, President Russell M. Nelson, who has recently passed. He reminded us to be peacemakers and to love others as Jesus Christ taught.

President Nelson said, “The Savior’s message is clear: His true disciples build, lift, encourage, persuade, and inspire — no matter how difficult the situation. True disciples of Jesus Christ are peacemakers.”

Thank you The Dallas Morning News for sharing local thoughts on Pres. Nelson.
