President Hinckley and the new First Presidency

Of course you heard about President Hinckley's passing - Mom and I were watching Masterpiece theater and Anna called to tell us to turn to channel 5. I was shocked, then sad, then happy for him. What a sweet man he was. How can you be sad when he's reunited with his dear wife? It was an interesting week watching the little bio's on T.V. about him and hearing about all the people who went to the viewing at the Conference Center. I heard from more than one person that the waiting line got longer and longer and it would take four hours to get through just for a few seconds to walk by the casket. I didn't get the opportunity to go, and I didn't feel like I needed to go. I had a work conference in Provo on Sat, sponsored by BYU, and we got to watch the funeral during our lunch break. I love being in Utah! I did ok until they showed a pictures of Pres. Hinckley during the closing hymn - I heard a lot of sniffing going on in our conference room.

Monday we were anxious to hear about the new 1st Presidency and I was excited about President Monson, Eyring and Uchtdorf. It will be interesting to see where the church goes in the future. To infinity and beyond!
