We Love President Hinckley

President Hinckley's paternal grandfather, Ira Nathaniel Hinckley, was baptized in Nauvoo at about 16, crossed the Plains in 1850, and after living in Salt Lake City and Coalville was called by President Brigham Young to superintend the building of a church fort in Cove Creek. There he was called as the second president of the Millard Stake. Our great-great grandfather Arza Erastus Hinckley was the brother of Ira Nathaniel Hinckley. We love President Hinckley as our prophet and also as family. Our love and best wishes are extended to family and loved ones at his passing today. We will truly miss him but know he is well received in the realms of heaven's faithful. As the Savior Jesus Christ's prophet President Hinckley was also an example of the Lord's servant that we hope to follow.

Thanks for not having Houston compete with Utah, which of course would have won hands down! I enjoy being a part of the winning city on your blog and wish that dreams could come true and I could live near more of my sweet family!!!

xxoo,
