President Hinckley Died Yesterday

I heard my mom shout it through the house just as I was getting in the shower.

I wasn't actually sad at all. I felt instant peace when I heard the news. He's with his wife now, and I know he really missed her. Now they are together again. Not only that, but they are with God.

I thought it was strange that I wasn't sad. Normally death hits me really hard. I remembered being a little kid when President Hunter died and not knowing what was going to happen next. I have a stronger, smarter testimony now. I know that Christ head the church, not his spokesperson. The leadership of the church isn't gone.

Think of the welcome President Hinckley must have recieved in heaven. Think of all those people grateful to him for building temples for their temple work to be done. I love President Hickley. He is a great man.He is Home now.

Alot of people in my school dress up in respect for him. We talked about it in seminary. My teacher said his daughter came and asked him what would be appropriate to do. He asked her what she thought President Hinckley would want her to do. He would rather she Change her life for the better because a Prophet encouraged her to

Don't dress up because he died. Live better, because He Did.

YW lesson

Today in Young Womens I taught the lesson. It wasn't as bad ad I thought it would be. It was so easy! Especially when compared with teaching boyscouts. My lesson was on drawing closer to Christ. I hope I got the message across. I truely think the lesson was more for me than anyone there. I learned more teaching it than they did from me.

Snow Prayer

Today I woke up really early for papers. I was still pretty late because of all the snow and ice.
....and the fact that I got the car stuck in a pile of snow at the end of a drive way. It was Aweful! But I finally got smart and said a prayer. It took a very short time after that. Then today, when I was trying to drive home after school, my car wouldn't move because of snow again. This time I said a prayer straight off. I Love having a loving Father who is looking after me.
