President Hinkley Dies - January 27, 2008





We love President Hinkley! We will miss him very much. I think he will always be remembered to us as "OUR" prophet. It is such a shock to hear of his passing. Dusty and Brandon called us last night to let us know what they had heard. Of course we turned the TV on to see if there was anything on the news. We forget that we are not in Utah. Nothing was mentioned on the news. So we went to the computer to see what we could find. And there it was on the Church Newsroom site. This morning early a sweet sister from the ward called to let us know the news. She said that it was only mentioned in passing with maybe a 30 second blurb on the news she was watching. It is so sad to think that the "worldly" world is not interested in this moment in History. President Hinkley was so much a part of our lives. I almost feel like my Grandfather just pasted away. What a blessed moment in his life to now be with his sweetheart again, and with many of his ancestor, not to mention all of those who revere and love him in heaven as we do here on earth. We love all of our leaders and so miss them when they go on to bigger and better things in the next life. We do testify that Gordon B. Hinkley is a prophet of God in our day. How blessed we are to have been under his leadership.
