I will miss President Hinckley!

I am so excited to be on the brink of President Thomas S. Monson's presidency and am grateful that I am permitted to live during his time as prophet. But alas I will miss my dear President Hinckley. He always said something that illuminated a situation for me and gave me much needed perspective, as well as uplifting me when I was feeling down about something. One of his quotes which got me through many a hard day while working with twelve to fourteen year old girls (which isn't always cake) and here is that quote that always gave me perspective of what I was working towards: "When you save a girl, you save generations. She will grow and strengthen in righteousness; she will marry in the House of the Lord. She will teach her children the ways of truth, they will walk in her paths and will similarly teach their children. Wonderful grandmothers will be there to lend encouragement. I see this as the one bright shining hope in the world that is marching towards self-destruction. We plead with you to give encouragement and help in every possible way to the women and girls of your stakes and wards. They need your leadership and counsel. Help them in everyway you can." He was a beautiful supporter of women and people in general and I will always love him for his insight and advice.
