President Gordon B. Hinckley receives his honourable release


Well Sunday evening we found out that our beloved Prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley had passed away at about 7 pm. Although we will really miss him I can't really be sad. After having done so much for so many people, at the age of 97 it was his turn to rest from care and sorrow. I have no doubt that he was anxious to see his beloved wife again. It will still be strange for me not to see his familiar, happy, loving face at the next General Conference. He was, after all the prophet durring my YW days. I will never forget being present for the broadcest when he gave his wonderful "Be" talk:

1. Be grateful.
2. Be smart.
3. Be clean.
4. Be true.
5. Be humble.
6. Be prayerful.



Although we will miss President Hinckley, I know our next prophet will be just as true and just as inspired. The head of the Church, our Saviour Jesus Christ, would not have it any other way.
