Today I have a few thoughts about President Gordon B. Hinckley who died this Sunday. President Hinckley was the leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a prophet of God.
President Hinckley will be missed by me. He was a very great man. I particularly remember his outreach to the youth. When I was a young man he held a meeting just for the youth and pronounced his prophetic blessing on us. This is just one of the many things he did to help the youth be connected to the church.
I'll also always remember his optimism and humor. Life was obviously fun for him and his example let you know that the righteous can be truly happy. He was very comfortable with the media and helped people overcome prejudices and misconceptions about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
President Hinckley was a great man and I'll miss him. To read more about him go here.

The Hinckley Challenge
"President Hinckley often stressed our making the Book of Mormon part of our lives. He was 97 when he passed away, and we would like to celebrate his life and teachings by reading the Book of Mormon in 97 days."
This is a tribute to his impact on the youth of the Church: Thousands of Youth Wear Sunday Best to Honor Leader
