We thank thee for a Prophet!




Last night our beloved Prophet Spencer Gordon B. Hinckley died at the age of 97. He was a man of great integrity, compasion, faith, wit, and humor. I loved when his doctor told him to walk with a cane so he did...he carried it everywhere he went...rarely letting it touch the ground. However, most of all I will never forget the sweet testimony building experiences I have had with him as the prophet...he truly was a man of God. Although it is hard to think that I won't hear his voice from the beautifully carved pulpet (made from a walnut tree taken from his back yard) I feel peace knowing he is with he sweetheart whom he missed dearly the last few years. I know they loved each other so much. I will never forget the life and legacy he has left behind.
