We were watching The Complete Jane Austin on PBS last night. Ammon came into the room just a little after 9:00 and told us President Hinckley had passed away earlier in the evening. Karamea had her computer on her lap and went straight to CNN.com. "Yep", she said, "it's on CNN." So we ran through a few channels and saw a few reports. It was a stirring moment. A quick jolt of sadness then joy because he was now reunited with his beloved wife.
We are feeling a bit sad but comforted knowing that church administration will continue without even the annoyance of a tiny bump in the road. The children had a quiet love for our Prophet. President Hinckley was the prophet for almost 13 years. He is the only prophet they remember well.
A new prophet and a new chapter begins now.
