Slain border agent was recently called to Mormon ward bishopric

Border Patrol agent Nicholas J. Ivie was called to serve in his LDS Church ward bishopric less than two months ago and Sunday was leading church services as second counselor in his Arizona ward. Two days later the former Provo resident was being mourned by family and friends and a nation still in search of solutions to secure its porous border. Ivie was shot and killed near Bisbee along the U.S.-Mexico line, becoming the 26th agent to die in the line of duty since 2002.
