He Will Be Missed.

This is my all time favorite picture of President Hinckley. I have it on my computer desk and it has brightened many a day for me. I just feel like I have to blog about this. His death to me was expected but so unexpected. I suppose I thought he would just go on forever as the prophet of our church but heaven was waiting for him. I can only imagine how happy he was to see Sister Hinckley and those who have gone before him. I'm sure the reception area in Heaven was over flowing to greet him. I have never known my grandfathers and really didn't know my grandmothers but a few memories of when I was very little. I always felt like he was my very wise, humble, funny, loving charismatic Grandpa. One of the things that I truly loved about President Hinckley was has quick wit. He always had something funny to say that just put people at ease. In watching him over the past many years I have come to realize that our Heavenly Father truly must also have a very witty personality. I guess we are created in his image all the way down to a sense of humor. I have a testimony of this and I know that our Father will provide us with a new prophet and I am so grateful that we have living prophets on the earth in this day to guide us and lead us home to our Heavenly Father.

You will be missed President Gordon B. Hinckley!

AND i HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE!

I got back late late late last night from my UTAH trip. I traveled across the wasatch front visiting with my lovley sisters who put up with my food whining! My snapping & my beautiful singing! We played our own version of American Idol, we sang , we danced, we laughed, we cried and we played Simon, Paula & Randy (YO DAWG) I prefered to play Randy myself. Anyhow, it was funny and I decided that it was even funnier that we were playing American Idol like we were 10 years old. We celebrated Em's b-day and that was a definate good time. Most of all we went to Brits mission farewell and heard her give a wonderful talk (no kidding) She's wise beyond her years and she is going to make the most wonderful missionary with a true love for the people of the Phillipines. Mike also gave a great talk that complimented his daughters so well. I swear he was looking at me for the whole talk and he said he was just looking for a friendly face. Of course I say he couldn't have found a friendlier one than mine thats for sure! YO!

Anyhow, Brit I love you your a wonderful example to your cousins and to your aunts and uncles. I have always known you would go far and that you had a great love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I just can't believe your old enough to go on a mission. YIKES! That makes me just that much more ancient!

To my family who hosted my stay , thanks for all the fun times. I just love my family , no one not anyone has a family like this. We truly love each other and I would trade my family in for anything! Love you all and wish you would all move out to Boise!

Love mucho much! Jen
