PROPHET in our day



BE grateful, BE smart, BE clean, BE true, BE humble, BE prayerful were the words we will always cherish from our wonderful prophet Gordon B. Hinckley who passed away January 27th. His humor, his dedication, his integrity, his example will be missed by us all. Another one of my favorite quotes when facing trials: "Everything will work out, now put on your shoes and go to work."
What is your favorite message from President Hinckley?


SALT LAKE CITY 4 February 2008: Thomas S. Monson is the new president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it was announced today at a news conference in the Church Office Building. President Monson, 80, succeeds President Gordon B. Hinckley, who died 27 January 2008. The new world leader of the Church has called to serve with him in the First Presidency, the top governing body of the 13-million-member faith, President Henry B. Eyring, 74, first counselor, and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, 67, second counselor. It was also announced that President Boyd K. Packer, 83, is the new president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. I am personally so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ, for the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and a living prophet to help guide us and our families in these latter days!

One of my favorites was when, at the end of a conference, President Hinckley encouraged us all to be a little better. If he felt he needed to be better, how much better do we need to be?
