I am appreciating modern technology today. I could have watched President Hinckley's funeral on my home computer but decided to get dressed up and go to the church to watch it via satellite. I am thankful that our technology makes it possible that saints around the world could all have that experience today. It was a wonderful funeral for a wonderful man, leader, friend, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and prophet. During the last song they showed photos of him throughout his life and while he was our beloved prophet and many tears were flowing. It was a very touching tribute. I will miss him but will never forget his life of service and Christlike example. God be with you till we meet again.

It was a beautiful funeral. That last tribute really touched me as well. I'll really miss President Hinckley.
I too am greatful for the modern technology that allowed me to listen to the talks while I had to work today. Their were some beautiful tributes given.
I can't believe I let myself get so far behind in reading your blog! It's always so fun to come to! I loved the story about the boys helping in the kitchen and meeting the prophet and Sis. Hinckley. It seems like the kind of comical thing they would do. .. coming round to the kitchen instead of going to the front door. Robes was sweet to help and blessed for his efforts. And how lucky were YOU seeing the prophet in person at the temple dedication! Wow! I remember visiting before it got it's steeple and all of the legal fuss about it being allowed to have one.
And I can relate to the three kids being young ... but mine were under FOUR years old, not THREE. That was a handful enough. I can only imagine.
Thanks for sharing the photos. I don't even know where the Berkshires are .... but they sound lovely. Glad you got to go and hang out with friends.
