LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley Funeral - 9 of 9

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church.

On February 2, 2008, millions of people around the world mourned the death of President Gordon B. Hinckley of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

Speaking of his long-time "cherished friend and colleague" and fellow Church leader, President Thomas S. Monson paid tribute to Gordon B. Hinckley Saturday as a "giant among men."

Quoting an unnamed poet, President Monson said: "'Here and there, and now and then, God makes a giant among men.' President Hinckley was such a giant -- a giant of knowledge, of faith, of testimony, of compassion, of vision."

How did you come to know about President Hinckley?

[oegaziz43]

I visited Salt Lake City in 3 different segments in 2007 in mostly May and June. Each day I was there I would visit the Temple gardens and buildings and weddings and Tabernacle performances. After viewing his message on families, I visited local LDS church and studied his more recent writings in the library. Miss SLC and will soon visit local church (I keep saying). Wonderful people, wonderful city,

Thanks for sharing, very interesting! If you go to mormon*org, and click "Worship with us", you can easily find the closest LDS church to you and what time the meetings are at.

I remember crying my eyes out when I first saw this that Saturday morning in February. I know he's with Heavenly Father now, but I wasn't ready for him to go right then and there.

For some reason, I found myself re-watching this tonight, and it makes my eyes swell with tears knowing that a truly great Prophet walked this earth and that our church has prophets who lead and love us daily. I know that this is The Church of Jesus Christ

La cancion se llama "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need" o sea, Mi Pastor satisfacera mi necesidad/mis necesidades. De hecho, la cancion no se encuentra en el himnario en ingles tanpoco. Es una cancion hermosa.

seeing him at 3:41 at the Santiago Chile temple rededication is so amazing. To see that he was there in Chile, that he visited my country and that he cared about people there and around the world shows me that God knows who we are and that He loves us all. He was indeed a prophet of God; our Heavenly Father has stretched forth his hand and has sent prophets again. What a blessing we have to live in such a time

Sabes, no se! no creo que existe en espanol lamentablemente, pero es hermoso. No sé el nombre en inglés tampoco!
