After my Mom called me with the news that President Hinckley died, I was so happy for him. I only felt loss for selfish reasons, what an incredible man. I could only imagine the welcome home he got from everyone. Marjorie jumping in his arms, Joseph Smith with open arms (maybe even a high five:)), many more Prophets and loved one so excited to see him. So, exciting!!
He spoke at our Stake Conference 2 weeks ago, via satellite, what an amazing last talk I got to hear from him, one I will always treasure. With a full heart and tears in my eyes, we will say, "see you later", to man that will always be in our home and hearts!! We love you Pres. Hinckley!!
We had Mary Ellen Edmunds come and speak at a stake Relief Society saturday night, if you have ever heard her speak, you know how funny she is..she was cracking us up with many, many stories of President Hinckley asking people to have a Dual with his cane, or poking anyone in range....he was a very humorous, fun, loving person!!
I told the girls he had gone home to Heavenly Father, with tears in there eyes they immediately wanted to know who the next Prophet would be, I told them Pres. Monson and Rylee started yelling, will Eyring still be there too, she just learned all their names and now they are excited to find out who the counselor is going to be....another exciting name for Rylee to memorize!!

That is awesome that you got to hear him speak a couple of weeks ago. I am very impressed with Rylee knowing their names. I had a hard time with my seminary kids getting to know their names!
