Farewell to the Prophet!

Gordon B. Hinkley was an incredible Prophet! I loved to listen to him and to see him speak. He looked like the sweetest man ever. I will miss listening to him speak, but I am glad that he can go home to his sweetheart and to rest. The best way to reverence him, is by his own quotes and teachings. He will be missed. I think my dad is probably feeling very priveleged to be there to greet him.

"We do not worship the Prophet [Joseph Smith]. We worship God our Eternal Father and the risen Lord Jesus Christ. But we acknowledge the Prophet; we proclaim him; we respect him; we reverence him as an instrument in the hands of the Almighty in restoring to the earth the ancient truths of the divine gospel, together with the priesthood."
President Gordon B. Hinckley, Liahona and Ensign, Dec. 2005, 2–6

"God is weaving his tapestry according to his own grand design. All flesh is in his hands. It is not our prerogative to counsel him. It is our responsibility and our opportunity to be at peace in our minds and in our hearts, and to know that he is God, that this is his work, and that he will not permit it to fail.
We have no need to fear. We have no need to worry. We have no need to speculate. Our imperative need is to be found doing our duty individually in the callings which have come to us. And because, for the most part, the Latter-day Saints are walking in faith and working with conviction, the Church is consistently growing ever stronger."
Gordon B. Hinckley, “He Slumbers Not, nor Sleeps,” Ensign, May 1983,

“This is my prayer for all of us—'Lord, increase our faith.' Increase our faith to bridge the chasms of uncertainty and doubt. . . . Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future. . . . Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequence follow.”
