President Hinckley

We learned early this morning via the internet that the Prophet and President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints had died. Gordon B. Hinckley was an amazing man. He made us all want to be better people. He was encouraging, optimistic, witty, fun, kind, smart & gracious. His faith and testimony led the church for 12 years. He is the only prophet my children have known. This morning when we woke the kids to get ready for school we told them he had passed away. Each of them expressed feelings of tenderness towards President Hinckley. It is a strange thing to be away from home when such events take place. You just want to talk with others who share the same sentiments and to reminise on a life that has truly lifted your own. The world is definitely a better place because of the life, service and legacy of President Hinckley.
