President Hinckley

I just thought I would take a minute and write a few thoughts I have with the passing of our Prophet. I have been thinking the last couple of days about what influence he has had on my life. There is one experience that really stands out. I had the opportunity to sing in the choir for the Relief Society General Meeting in September 1995. I can even remember the songs that we sang. One of them being "More Holiness Give Me." This is now one of my favorite hymns especially the last verse. I remember that the meeting was running a little long but President Hinckley said that the men were just going to have to wait a little bit longer for us to get home. (I loved his sense of humor.) He then proceeded to read The Family: A Proclamation to the World. I remember the spirit that was in the room and I knew that He was a prophet of God. When I heard of his passing my first thought was he is now finally reunited with his wife. I can only imagine the joyful reunion. I will miss the humor he brought to General Conference and his wise counsel he had for us.
