President Gordon B. Hinckley


I was very sad to hear the news that President Hinckley (President/Leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) passed away tonight at the age of 97. He has been the prophet for the last 15 years and so has been probably the most influential prophet in my life. I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to be a member of this church during his term as prophet. He truly was a man called and guided by God.

He was an amazing man who was so good for the church at this time and did a lot to further the work of the gospel. He was so sweet, kind and loving and I always looked forward to hearing him speak. He lived a very full life and I am sure he is happy to be reunited once again with his dear wife. He has left his mark on the lives of millions of people around the world and will be missed.

Totally agree. It will be strange to not have him at the head!
