Thank You

I would just like to express my thanks for President Gordon B. Hinckley. I am selfishly sad that he has passed away. I know that he is so excited to be reunited with loved ones, particularly his beautiful wife. He was/is MY prophet. I grew up hearing my mom say this about President McKay and never quite understood until now. He was the Prophet of my crazy teenage days whose voice was one of the only that could penetrate my hard, cynical heart. He was the Prophet with a great sense of humor that made me feel okay about having one myself. He was the Prophet who signed my husband's mission call. He was the prophet whose words I craved each conference. He was the Prophet that even though I never met him I know that he loved and cared for me and my family. He was the Prophet who felt inspired to build a little Temple in the little town of Monticello, Utah for my Grandma to work in. He was the Prophet who declared a Temple spot just down the street from my house. He had such a simple way of expressing himself. A true English major he could write sermons to touch all. I had a Temple recommend interview today and had the experience to state that I KNOW he is a Prophet of God. Thank you for your life and example. All of my love....
