So my roomies and I decided to drive down to Salt Lake for President Hinckley's viewing today. It was so peaceful. Seeing him was pretty powerful. Just to see this little man who almost looked blissful lying there. The part that hit me the most was seeing his hands. It just made me think about how grateful I was for all that those two hands have done for me personally. Then when I looked around at the huge line of people I realized how many lives he affected and how many people where changed through him. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have lived during the time that he has served here on earth. I remember him saying once that he worried he would be remembered as the prophet no one listened to, I want to do everything I can to make that not true. We all should be doing that we can to repay this man who did so much for us. Never forget his dedication to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. He had a lot to teach us ... and we have a lot to learn.
We love you President Hinckley! Thank you for all you did for us!

That's good that you got to go. I'm glad it was such a great experience for you.
That is something you will always remember and be able to tell your grandkids about. Thanks for telling us about it.
