With the recent death of President Hinkley, the Prophet of my church, I have had many deep thoughts lately...
I am so grateful for my faith, and for the peace that I have in my life because of it. I know that President Gordon B. Hinkely was a prophet of God. I know that he loved Jesus and that he was a true disciple of Christ. I will miss him terribly. I was at BYU when he was called to be our prophet. I have always known President Hinkley because as far back as I can remember he has been a general authority. I have learned so much from him. I will treasure his teachings and continue to teach my children what I have learned and try my best to live a life as dedicated to the Lord as he did.
Aric also has a great love and fondness for President Hinkley because he was the prophet when Aric joined the church 10 years ago. Aric bore a beautiful testimony at church on Sunday about what President Hinkley and the gospel means to him. Since Aric doesn't publicly bear his testimony often it was very special. Our girls loved President Hinkley too. When we first told them that he passed away Maya said, that means he is in heaven with Heavenly Father and Jesus. Edee chimed in...and he's with Abuelita Tina too! (She is my great grandma who died when I was pregnant with Eden) They knew who he was and that he was a prophet of God.

Loved the President Hinckley quote. I love Elder Eyring or President Eyring and look forward to learning more about President Uchdorft-- like how to correctly spell his name.
Truly an inspiring man. I will remember him for his soft spoken, dedicated, and sincere manner. It looked as though his leadership role came naturally to him, as you could see the way he deeply touched others lives.
I, too, know Pres Monson was called of God and look forward to his service in the church.
I was totally taken by surprise by the feeling that came into my heart as I watched that this morning (on LDS.org). So thrilling to Know.
