“The time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
I was lucky to be there at that General Conference session where President Hinckley was sustained as the next president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I was only 18.
Although I had never met him, the influence he had on my life over the past twelve years is immeasurable. His words have guided me through my darkest and finest hours, and although I am sad to see him gone, I am grateful to know that he has been welcomed and found solace in the arms of his sweet wife, our Heavenly Father, and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
