Goodbye For Now

january 27, 2008
we were generals in the war in heaven and one day when you are in the spirit world, you will be enthralled by those you are associated with. you will ask someone in which time period they lived and you might hear, " i was with moses when he parted the red sea", or "i helped build the pyramamids", or " i fought with captain moroni". and as you are standing there in amazement, someone will turn to you and ask you which of the prophets' did you live in? and when you say "gordon b. hinkley" a hush will fall over every hall and corridor in heaven, and all in attendance will bow at your presence. you were held back six thousand years because you were the most talented, most obedient, most courageous, and most righteous.

Tonight we lost one of my favorite prophets, gordon b. hinkley. he has been a great example of love and service to us. he has also done so much for the church and as a member i am very grateful. he will be missed, and i can only imagine the celebration that is going on in heaven with his return and how happy he is to be reunited with his wife.
