I just received the news that our Beloved Prophet President Gordon B. Hinckley passed away this evening. Oh how my heart aches for the loss of such a wonderful man. He has been a very great influence in my life. Since the time I was a little girl, I have known President Hinckley as a prophet. He was called to be the Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints when I was 12 years old, and has wrought many miracles since he as been the President. He taught me the importance of temples, and inspired me to be a better person. I take comfort that he is with his sweet wife now, but am so sad that he has passed away. Cole and I were talking about this a few minutes ago- and we still know that the church is in wonderful hands, but President Hinckley will be sorely missed by all that knew- or knew of him. I love President Hinckley, and his presence will be missed.

I know he was 97 so it was probably about time for him to have some rest but it was hard news for me. He is "my" prophet. The one I grew up listening to. I know all prophets are called of God and I'm sure the next one will do wonderful things too but President Hinckley will always be close to my heart.
Mindy- Thanks for posting this. I am so happy to know that he is with our Father in Heaven and also with his sweet wife...yet still I feel such a saddness knowing that we won't hear him speak again at Conference. He truly is the prophet for our generation. He will be sorely missed. He will always have such a huge place in my heart.
What a wonderful man. He will be missed. This has really given me time though to reflect on my own testimony of prophets and what a wonderful role they fill as mouthpieces of the Lord.
