    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

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 all prophets, and miss all of them who are gone. I fully believe that President Gordon B. Hinckley is one of the greatest story tellers, ever, don't you think? I love this video, and always start to cry, whenever I watch it, it is that beautiful....

    I don't believe and haven't for some time. But this story has always stuck with me for how poignant and beautiful it is.

    That's a very good prayer. Sometimes we care more about being in control than we do about being in the right.

    So nice to take 4 minutes out of the day to remember and reflect on something that means a little more than the hum and drum of daily living. So grateful for good stories and good examples, especially from young children, who teach so much.
