Gordon B. Hinckley

I have felt sad for a time since the passing of Sis. Marjorie Hinckly how sad President Hinkley must be. They were so close and it was so fun to watch them interact with each other. Each conference I would listen for him to say his final farewell. I never wanted him to go but I knew he must feel very lonely without her. I love that the purpose of our existence here on earth is founded on the relationship of a husband and wife and extends though our children and grandchildren. With the passing of President Gordon B Hinckley I feel a strong desire share my testimony of the gospel. I do not have an extensive education. I could never go head to head with someone and show proof of my all my beliefs. I am very simple and have a simple but firm belief that Gordon B Hinkley was a true prophet of God. I know that the Lord loves each of us and wants us to be happy. I know that if we follow his commandments and obey his will we will find eternal happiness. I know that the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints it the true church and that the Lord still speaks to us through his prophets. I am so grateful to know that the Lord still loves us and communicates with us through prophets as in the Bible. I am so grateful to know that if I have doubts or questions the Lord will answer me through fasting and prayer. I know that the Lord hears and answers my prayers because I have experienced it and I am never afraid because I know the Lord is there, he knows me personally and he is a loving and charitable God who loves us more than we can comprehend. I know that all that I have and all that I am comes from my Heavenly Father. I know that the way to show my love and appreciation for him is through compassion and service to my friends, neighbors and all who I come in contact with. I am grateful for a husband who loves me and honors me. He is a worthy, humble man who makes me so grateful for an eternal family. I am proud of my children and the choices they make. I am grateful for parents and grandparents who have guided me in life through example and love.I am gratful for siblings with whome I can share my feelings and worries. I know that this life, my life, is as God intended it and I am so thankful for it.
