Phelps, an important leader in the early days of the Church, and of his journey from hatred towards his brethren to sincere repentance and humility; Ezra Taft Benson, president of the LDS Church and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, who proved what can be accomplished by living the principles of the gospel - even in the spotlight.
