We love and will miss President Gordon B. Hinckley
We just heard the new's about our beloved Prophet, President Hinckley's passing. What an incredible legacy of faith!! :-) Emma and I were talking at General Conference about everything this sweet man has accomplished and we thought, he has lived such a wonderful life and his service and deeds to mankind and the Lord's work is inmeasureable, that the Lord just told him, "Hey, whenever your ready to come home you just let me know.". Indeed his work was done, and then some. :-) We are so happy he is with his sweetheart again! The Gospel is True! Truely this man was a Prophet of God.This is the Prophet that we grew up under; Through Jr. High, High School, the Mission, the first 4 years of marriage and with our first child.
Here is the last Testimony we heard from him in General Conference;
“I hope that all of you will remember that on this Sabbath day you heard me bear my witness that this is God’s holy work. The vision given the Prophet Joseph in the grove of Palmyra was not an imaginary thing. It was real. It occurred in the broad light of day. Both the Father and the Son spoke to the boy. He saw Them standing in the air above him. He heard Their voices. He gave heed to Their instruction.“It was the resurrected Lord who was introduced by His Father, the great God of the universe. For the first time in recorded history, both the Father and the Son appeared together to part the curtains and open this, the last and final dispensation, the dispensation of the fullness of times.“The Book of Mormon is all that it purports to be—a work recorded by prophets who lived anciently and whose words have come forth “to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations” (Book of Mormon title page).“The priesthood has been restored under the hands of John the Baptist and Peter, James, and John. All the keys and authority pertaining to eternal life are exercised in this Church.“Joseph Smith was and is a prophet, the great Prophet of this dispensation. This Church, which carries the name of the Redeemer, is true.“I leave you my testimony, my witness, and my love for each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”President Gordon B. Hinckley April 1, 2006, Sunday morning session of the 176th Annual World General Conference

Darn, we were suppose to see him this weekend with the temple dedication and all. Couldn't he have held out for just a few more days!!!! We are glad he is with his adorable wife.
