President Gordon Bitner Hinckley



I was so sad to hear the news of Pres. Hinkleys passing, i, like so many felt like i knew this wonderful man. I feel so blessed to have been apart of his ministry as Prophet of God. I will truly miss him. One of the many wonderful memories i have of him is when i was at BYU Nauvoo and us as students were able to participate in the corner stone dedication of the Nauvoo temple. He was able to attend this and i was one of the escorts that was able to escort him in on his little golf cart and i can't even tell you the spirit that overcame me as soon as he stepped foot on those sacred grounds. it was such a confirmation to me that he truly was a Prophet of God. I am so Grateful for all that he taught. I am so glad to know that he is with his sweet wife. I look forward to our new prophet Pres. Monson, he will also be amazing. What a blessing it is to be a member of this great church.
