My heart has been full of mixed feelings all evening. I'm so sad at the loss of our prophet, President Hinckley. I'm so happy for him to be reunited with his beloved Marjorie. He has served over 75 years in the church--he started working for the church in the 30s!
It was nice tonight (or this morning, however you look at it) to just look through some of my favorite photos of President Hinckley and listen to some of his words. I think I'll go to sleep tonight listening to his last conference address.
I feel lucky to have had Pres. Hinckley as our prophet for such a long time, and words cannot give justice to the immeasurable work he has accomplished for the worldwide church.
Today has been a day of reflection--and tonight I realized that Pres. Hinckley's passing is another opportunity for renewal of faith and re-dedication of our lives as we look at a man who has done such a marvelous work.
