President Hinckley


Our dear Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley passed away on Sunday, Jan 27th around 7pm. It is amazing how someone you never actually met can leave such an impact and imprint in you life. I love him and he will be missed. I am so grateful for his life and example. His knowledge and love for the Savior Jesus Christ was powerful. His humor was infectious. His example as a husband and father was remarkable. I smile to know that he is at "home" with his sweet companion and that he has finished his "job" in guiding and teaching us. We can truly celebrate his life by doing what he did - love and follow our Savior.

I also have a huge spot in my heart for Brigham Young University. This link is to a wonderful video about President Hinkley's influence on BYU and it's students. (Just copy and paste into your address bar)

Dito, It is hard to feel sad when you are so happy for him to be with his wife. That being said the very thought of him brings tears to my eyes. It truely is amazing to love a man so dearly that you have never met.
