In 2 weeks I will have been a member of the Church for 7 years. I could not
wait to become worthy of going to the Temple. It was because of President
Hinckley's love and devotion to Temple work and the building of Temples
around the world that I one day wanted to serve at the Temple. My wish came
true two and a half years ago as I began serving at the Jordan River Temple.
Other than my deep love for my eternal sweetheart, Susan, and my family, I
can't think of anything I love more than serving at the Temple. Thank you
President Hinckley for being my first Prophet and an inspiration to me and my
entire family. I miss you, but I know that one day I will see you again and
will be able to thank you for all you have done in my mortal life.
