president hinckley

as so many of you, i am deeply saddened by the passing of our sweet prophet--president hinckley. i am so grateful for the opportunity that i had to speak in church on sunday--just hours before his death. i am so grateful that from the pulpit i was able to bear testimony of him. he made such a huge impact (as did his wife) on my life. he signed my mission call and was the prophet during some of the most difficult times in my life--times when i had to make some huge decisions (marriage, career, motherhood, etc.) i will never forget the day that i was able to meet the hinckleys. when i was at BYU my bishop's wife was in charge of a luncheon honoring sister hinckley. it was there that i was able to shake the prophet's hand. my sweet "A" asked if he would someday be able to shake the hand of a prophet. i have a feeling he will!
