Let us rejoice that the church is true! Let us cherish his memory and honor the words he spoke. Our beloved Prophet has passed, but he lives on!
We learned about prophets today and I was just talking to Brian about how much I love Pres. Hinckley. I love how he rejoiced in life and how frail he was but he was so strong. I had a hard time of explaining to him how I felt, but all I could get out was "When I look at him, I feel peace. I know that the Lord speaks to him and he is so close to God". I know that President Hinckley loved us, I could hear it in his voice everytime he spoke to us. He really felt the feelings that Christ feels towards us. He was so humble and filled with love. I love him so much and I know that he was a Prophet of God. God bless his family and our church as our hearts turn to thee in this sweet sadness. He is with his wife and our Father now, and I am sure he is happy.
