Passing of the Prophet

The prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints passed away last night. President Hinckley was an amazing prophet to say the least. He was prophet for 12 years--which means most of my life and he's the one I remember the best. I was very sad to hear of his passing, but happy to know he can move on to a better place and be with his sweetheart again.

"SALT LAKE CITY 27 January 2008 President Gordon B. Hinckley, who led The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through twelve years of global expansion, has died at the age of 97.
