This morning I have spent some time thinking about our Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. He was a great man and a wonderful example to us all. I will miss his smile and sense of humor, as well as the counsel he gave us. I am grateful for his teachings and will continue to try to follow them for I know he was a Prophet of God and that "though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same." D&C 1: 38
