"We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet"



I just wanted to say how lucky I feel to have lived during the time of this wonderful prophet. I was shocked when I heard the news of his passing last night. It caught me off guard, though we all knew it was forth coming. I've been a little emotional today, as I've read articles about his life and tonight for FHE, Jon and I watched a 33 minute video about President Hinckley. As I reflect on my memories of him I will always remember his kind sweet smile. I loved his sense of humor and felt the love he had for each of us as members of the church. He was an amazing example of what every spouse should be. He loved his dear Marjorie and I am happy that he is with her again. Jon said to me last night, imagine the reception he is receiving. I'm sure he was over joyed to be reunited with his dear wife. I will miss his testimony and talks. I think I could have listened to him speak for hours. He will be greatly missed by all who have been blessed to know him or to have been blessed by his words and counsel. I loved the power with which he bore his testimony. There was never any doubt that he knew the church was true. He was a wonderful leader and example to all. He influnced many and blessed many. I love the way he was able to tell the world about our religion and beliefs to help them have a better understanding of who we are as a religion. I will miss President Hinckley, but I know he is in a better place, and where he needs to be now. I look forward to the day I can see him again. "Til we meet again"
