"Till We Meet Again"
President Gordon B. Hinckley
I was a little shocked, as probably most of you were, to find out that President Hinckley had past away. What an amazing man. It is kind of bittersweet to me. When I first found out, I couldn't help but cry. I love being able to hear his words at conference time, and throughout the rest of the year. They had such an impact in my life, and when he spoke I could feel the spirit that he possessed. He was such a gracious, humble, hilarious, loving, caring man. I will miss his words of wisdom, his fun loving spirit, and his love for the gospel. The church over the past 13 years sure has grown, due to the wonderful work he did. All of the temples that he had built is remarkable. I am so glad that I was able to grow up with him being the prophet.
On the other hand I am so grateful to know that he is with his precious wife again. What a glorious reunion that probably was, and what a remarkable life he led. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time. Thank you for serving your life in the church and being such a great example to all of us!! I will miss you!

I'll never forget the first time I saw President Hinckley speak as a prophet. I was in the MTC and it was the first time I really remember being old enough to see what happens when a prophets dies. I really had felt the loss of President Hunter as he had called me on my mission. I remember wondering how anyone could replace President Hunter and then President Hinckley got up to speak. I will never forget the feeling that came over that day when the Spirit testified to me that he was the Prophet called by God to preside over the Church. It was by far the strongest testimony of a prophet that I have ever recieved. I will sorely miss him and his example. He lived great in all that he did and was an example for all of us to strive to follow. He was always so kind and was always gently reminding us to stand a little taller and be a litte better. I will always remember the great impact he had on my testimony and can't wait until I can meet him again and thank him.
