I am taking this class Teachings of Gordon B Hinckley. I absolutly love it I was having a hard day and being able to talk about our feelings, what we learned from the prophet really help the thing that I will remember most is his sense of humor, his quick wit his temple building.. so many ancestor names have been done because others had temples that were closer.

one of the main lines that I remember the prophet saying is about the new temple in salt lake the Oriqurrh mountain temple "we may not be able to spell it but we do not go to the temple to spell" this still makes me laugh when I think about it I am thankful to the prophet for his temple building it is hard to believe he died but he is very happy now he is with his wife. he will be missed and so loved...

I am in the Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley class at UVU and it is amazing. I only have it on Monday's and I wish I could have it more. I learn from the class each time. Sister Hepworth is a fabulous teacher. President Hinckley was an amazing man. I look up to his example so much; it was really hard for me to see him go but I know he was extremely happy to see his wife and family. I love and miss him but I am grateful to be in a class that helps me remember him and his teachings.
