An Amazing Man

Yesterday was a very bitter sweet day. Our dear prophet President Hinckley passed away. I felt a lot of saddness with his passing, but at the same time I wanted to celebrate his life. He is such an amazing man, who did SO much good during his lifetime. I know without a doubt that he was and is a prophet of God. One of my very favorite memories of him was when I was fortunate enough to go with my sisters to a youth fireside at the conference center. I will never forget that experience. The center was filled to it's capacity, thousands of people talking and laughing, but when he walked in the room, without being announced, everyone stopped talking and immediately stood up to show their love and support of him. At that moment I knew with out a doubt, I was in the presence of a prophet of God. The spirit was so strong, and his words that day touched my life for the better, as they always have. He was and is an amazing man who I love and will deeply miss, but what a celebration of a life well lived, he definitely returned home with honor! Thanks again to our beloved prophet President Hinckley for his MANY years of service and his amazing example of goodness and righteousness.
