With the passing of President Gorden B Hinckley this week Ihave realized how blessed we are to have a living prophet on the earth today. When I was eight years old my family went to the general conference and I remember hearing Spencer W. Kimball speak and I knew that he was a prophet. I have been inspired by each prophet that followed him. But President Hinckley will always have a special place in my heart. Maybe it is because we all were given the opportunity to know him for so long. Maybe it was his testimony of Christ, his simple sweet humor, his love for his wife, his love of the pioneers, or his ability to make me and everyone else feel that he really did love us. What I want most to remember is the way he lived his life like every minute of it counted. I want to be a little more kind, a litte more patient, and a little more loving. Now is the time.
