I know there are going to be a million blogs on our beloved Prophet's passing this week, but I couldn't not send out my love to Him. The first time I remember coming into contact with this sweet man was when I was about 12 I think. I was in Montana with my grandparents for the summer and we went to stake conference- which in Montana is a 3 hour drive- I wasn't feeling good at all (dang snickers) and was about to go out to the car to sleep, but all the sudden the congregation started singing "We Thank Thee Oh God for a Prophet" and I saw him come in the door. I was overwhelmed by the spirit that hit me at that moment. Seeing his sweet self come walking in, waving at everyone, at me- I felt. I KNOW he is a Prophet of God and I am feel so blessed to have been alive when he was here to lead us!
We were at Whalen's last night when Summer's dad called with the news, then our Bishop called us, then the texts started rollin' in, and we were playing games, but it was a calming spirit that came into the house when Sum got off the phone and told us. We talked about him for a moment and then went on with our night, but wow.....it was such a surprise to us all.
When we got home, channel 5 had a special on about him from 10-11 without commercials and I was soooo super tires, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter what. I just watched, and cried and grew to love him even more. I'm so happy for him that he gets to be with his Savior and the love of his life once again. How we wil miss Him!!!!
