Gordon B. Hinckley
The Prophet and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon B. Hinckley, passed away today. He has been the Prophet since 1995 and was the oldest prophet in the church's history. He was 97. I loved the prophet for his calm and encouraging manner. I loved how he wanted us to Be a little better, a little kinder. His work to increase the number of temples from less than 50 to 124 was such a testament to his conviction in spreading the gospel. What an example to us all. I'm very happy for him to be reunited with his sweetheart. I love how gracefully our church transitions from one prophet to the next. It's so comforting to know that while we will hold President Hinckley's memory in our hearts, the work goes on.
