Gordon B. Hinckley - Page 3
My wife is in the Primary presidency in our ward and she was pointing out that all the children that are in Primary now have only known President Hinkley as their Prophet. I am wondering the thoughts of our primary children after losing the only prophet that they have ever known.
I remember my thoughts when president Kimball died. He was the prophet that I knew. I remembered his rough loving voice and his kind eyes and remember the sad feelings that I had, regardless of his health and age.
I am curious what our children will remember about President Hinkley.

"I am now advised that there are 6,066 Church-owned satellite receiving sites in 83 countries. How grateful I am that with our growth in numbers there is also an increased ability to reach out and communicate with the Latter-day Saints throughout the world. "Now, we could wish for more baptisms in the United States and Canada, but that could be said of everywhere throughout the world. Nevertheless, the harvest is great, with members in some 160 nations. Where not long ago there were very few Latter-day Saints, today there are strong wards and stakes, with faithful and capable men and women in leadership. . . .
"Circumstances change, but our message does not change. We bear testimony to the world that the heavens have been opened, that God, our Eternal Father, and His Son, the risen Lord, have appeared and spoken. We offer our solemn witness that the priesthood has been restored with the keys and authority of eternal blessings." (Gordon B. Hinckley, "We Bear Testimony to the World," Ensign, Nov. 2006, 4)

I just came across this in my inbox and clicked to read it. The headline of course made me think, "WOW! The FBI", but it sounds like maybe it was for a job. If only we had these kind of Americans running our country! Just my opinion.
FBI Investigated President Hinckley in 1951
| QUOTE |
| Forty-four years before he became president of the Church, the U.S. government investigated Gordon B. Hinckley to determine whether he was a spy or a loyal American. According to FBI files released last week, the conclusion was the latter. In the summer of 1951, at the request of J. Edgar Hoover, a special inquiry was conducted into President Hinckley's life as part of a screening process for a job with Voice of America, a radio network run by the U.S. State Department. (It is unclear whether he applied for the job or was recruited, and there is no mention of any employment at Voice of America in his biography.) FBI agents conducted investigations in Utah, California, Colorado and Illinois, interviewing employers, business associates, neighbors, Church members and others who were acquainted with him. Descriptions such as "intelligent, dependable and conscientious" appear repeatedly throughout the documents, with all interview subjects speaking highly of President Hinckley. One report states that a neighbor described him as "an excellent person and one of the most loyal American citizens he has ever known." The report further shows that another neighbor said 'the U.S. government would be absolutely safe in trusting [him] with any confidential or classified material because of Hinckley's excellent moral character and loyalty to the United States." The FBI reviewed President Hinckley's high school and college records, reporting that his grades at the University of Utah were "above average." In addition, agents looked into the credit histories of President Hinckley's siblings, as well as searched for arrest records. None were found. The recently released FBI files also include a letter from President Hinckley explaining his employment history from 1932 to 1935. He writes about his mission call to Europe in May of 1933 and says of his mission, "I received no monetary compensation for the two years spent in this effort, as is customary with all Mormon missionaries." Upon completing his mission, he was asked by President Heber J. Grant to organize what has become the Church's Public Affairs Department. In 1951 he was named executive secretary of the General Missionary Committee, managing the entire missionary program of the Church until he was appointed as an assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1958. He was called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1961 and set apart as the 15th president of the Church on March 12, 1995. He passed away on January 27 of this year. |

Late LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley's voice a boon to research study
Hinckley, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1995-2008, delivered 36 speeches at Brigham Young University during the final five decades of his life. The audio recordings from those discourses provided researchers from the National Center for Voice and Speech at the University of Utah with a treasure trove of data for a new study about how an individual's voice changes with age.

I know I will miss seeing him--he was so amazing! The spirit and the energy he had at his age---WOW! But I know as much as he probably will miss us here--he is with his beloved wife again and the Savior. He literally wore out his life in service. I am also thankful for modern technology that allows us to read, listen and watch the words he taught throughout his service as the Prophet of our church. May the Lord bless his family at this time.
