Goodbye




Last night Ben and I took the opportunity to go to President Hinckley's viewing. After waiting in line for 4 1/2 hours, we finally got our chance to pay our respects to our dear prophet. The spirit there was absolutely overwhelming.

I have a special love for President Hinckley because I got to know him as a patient. I have had the amazing opportunity to speak with him one on one on several diffrent occassions and I consider that a great blessing.

Last night was a night that I will never forget and I am so glad that I was able to pay a last respect to someone whom so many love and admire.

Yes, it was fun to see the prophet so close. I'll never forget those experiences either. I can't believe how sad I was to see him pass on...but I am so glad he is with Marjorie again!

Wow! I'm so glad you guys went, what a neat experience. (It's times like this that I really miss home.) I had forgotten about your visits with him.

What a great experience to have. I hope you wrote it down so later you can look back on it! Are you excited for the new presidentcy? I think they will do an awesome job. It is exciting to think of what they may do. I love your blog!
