Our Beloved Prophet


President Gordon B. Hinckley, prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints passed away this evening at 97 years of age. This is a quite saddening event for members of this church worldwide. He is dearly loved and cherished by millions. He has spent his entire life in service and showing complete Christ-like love to everyone. Although he will be greatly missed and his passing brings sadness, it is a joyful thing. He is able to be reunited with his dear wife, and others he has loved. He is happy and I know that his reunion with loved ones is sweet. Words cannot express my love, appreciation, and admiration for this wonderful man. He is the epitome of goodness, charity, and service. He is the most optimistic, kind, faithful person I have ever been priviledged to have known. His testimony of our savior Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father's eternal plan will always be remembered and treasured. He will forever be an example and enormous influence for good in my life.
