President Gordon B. Hinckley, 1910-2008President Hinckley has been the President and Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ever since I began attending church in 1999 as a visitor with Tim and his family, which ultimately resulted in my conversion and baptism in August 2001.
A little over a year later, President Hinckley gave the worldwide Church membership a piece of counsel that is among those that I remember most vividly:"I challenge every one of you who can hear me to rise to the divinity within you." (General Conference October 2002)
I love and revere this man, whose lifetime of faith and service is an example to us all. He will be missed.
