Pres. Hinckley: Prophet, Seer, and Revelator
This evening the beloved prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints passed away surrounded by family. News reports state that his passing was due to complications of old age. I find comfort in knowing that he was preceeded in death by his lovely wife Majorie Hinckley and that their reunion in Heaven was nothing less then a joyous event. Ever since my return into full activity of the church in 1999 the only face I have ever known as “the face of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints” has been that of the kind and wise President Hinckley. I have grown to love and trust him and am sad to see him go, but I trust that the next prophet of the church will become as beloved as Pres. Hinckley was and will bring his own unique personality to the calling. Brandon also feels a sense of loss and he remarked, “it seemed that he would be a permanent fixture of the church.” Which leads him to have a sense of disbelief about the loss.
