    President Hinkley will always have a special place in my heart. When I joined the church in 1999 he was the first prophet I ever heard in my life. He was a special man that I will always remember. I miss him.

      +Martin Espindola , That is the voice of the lord speaking to your heart, telling you that the gospel is true. Am glad you feel the love of christ and the connection to all living things. That feeling is a confirmation of the restored gospel. Please if you haven't yet, look for the missionaries. They have a message that will bless your life now and forever, especially ask them about lesson 1 and 2, it is my favorite. I know the gospel is true, i know the savior died for us and i know his love is for us to feel and you too can feel that peace if you listen to his servants. May the good Lord bless you and your family to see the truth. Amen

How glad he must be to be rejoined with his sweetheart on the other side after crying himself to sleep for years after her departure. President Hinkley, you were a wonderful father to all of us while you were here and we will never forget you or the greatness of your works. And give your beloved wife our love.

    I love watching this video with my children. It brings a tear to my eye every time I watch it. Imagine what the man working in the field must have thought. As far as he knew, these silver dollars came down from heaven. When we are in any level of service to our brothers and sisters, we are also serving God.

    • @evam2351

I will always remember you and the man you have inspired me to become. A man that loves you above all else. :)
