A Prophet Remembered

For the past couple of years, I have been blessed to serve at the Conference Center as a Guest Service Missionary, but the past couple of days have been the pinnacle of my service. I feel extremely blessed to have been able to serve at the viewing and then the funeral of our dear Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley. The Conference Center became a sanctuary of reverance and peace as the Prophet was eulogized. President Hinckley always motivated me with his endurance and hard work, his love and charity, and his acceptance of all. His words inspire me to "Stand a little taller", to "do and be a little better", and to "forget myself and get to work". It was said of him "that his heart was so full of faith that there wasn't any room for doubt or fear". After the funeral and grave dedication, the Spirit in the hall was tangible. It literally touched my heart, filled my soul and brought tears to my eyes. Afar off in a section of the hall, soft, ominous voices filled the center with the words "We Thank Thee, Oh God, For a Prophet", for truly we were grateful for this prophet.
