My life was especially touched by the Book of Mormon challenge that he issued. He was also a champion of musical talent, and I had the privledge to sing for him once. He remained personal advisor to the Choir until the end of his days. President Hinckley was a marvel of a man. In all that he did, he still had time to reach out to individuals. He put in a full work day 5 days a week right up until the Thursday before his passing! He implemented more programs, oversaw more temples and influenced more people than any other prophet in history. His legacy will last through all generations…and what a blessing that we may say we lived during his era!

Thank you Aaron.
The First Presidency message this month is “The Master Bridge Builder.” Of course, it is about the Savior as a bridge builder.
President Hinckley has been a “Master Bridge Builder” in our day. He has built the bridges. We must use them to accomplish the Lord’s purposes.

“There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.”

What a very inspiring tribute to a prophet of God. Anyone who heard him and felt his love and spirit could only know that he was certainly someone special. Of course we believe that he was indeed a prophet, a man with so much compassion and love for everyone. He certainly judged no one, but tried to find humor and the best in every situation. As Aaron’s parents, we certainly remember him having to make the choice between being with us and going and being with the prophet. We felt honored indeed that Aaron chose to stay and visit with us. What a great man he was, and still is. Even though the world will certainly miss him, can you even imagine the reunion that must be going on as he sees his wife and parents again?
