Til we meet again

Today, Gordon B. Hinckley, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was laid to rest. He was 97 years old.

The funeral services were broadcast from Salt Lake City around the world in over 60 some languages. My wife and I had the blessing of watching it on television here in Miami. President Hinckley will be sorely missed.

A new prophet will be called. The work will roll forth "as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth."

Mike Wallace (60 Minutes) said of his experience interviewing President Hinckley, "I learned, from the time we spent with Gordon Hinckley and his wife, from his staff, and from other Mormons who talked to us, that this warm and thoughtful and decent and optimistic leader of the Church fully deserves the almost universal admiration that he gets."
