President Hinckley

I love this picture him dubing President Eyring
I wanted to write a little of how I am feeling about President Hinckley passing. I love him and his wife so much and I am glad they will be together again. He wore out his life in service to the Savior and Church and he did this not defensively and sternly but with humor, hard work and gratitude.
I will always remember lineing up infront of the Marriott Center as a freshman at BYU to hear him speak and being on the ground floor only about 20 feet away. He is a prophet of God. Another favorite memory is when he challenged a speaker to a duel in the basement of the Tabernacle during a Saturday Morning General Conference Session after the previous speaker went on and on about President Hinckley's life. He is so funny! I really gained my own testimony of the Gospel durning his calling as Prophet and I will miss him.
