This World Needs More Leaders Like President Gordon B. Hinckley

This is one of my most favorite pictures of President Hinckley. It demonstrates his wonderful, purpose-filled life. I'm positive he never wasted a minute, never lost an opportunity to serve, lead, or teach. I am reminded of the quote he often cited from his father's letter he recieved while on his mission: "Gordon, forget yourself...and get to work."

And that is just what he did.

“In a statement, President Bush praised Hinckley as a ‘deeply patriotic man. While serving for over seven decades in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon demonstrated the heart of a servant and the wisdom of a leader. He was a tireless worker and a talented communicator who was respected in his community and beloved by his congregation."

Here is a beautiful recording of some of his most powerful testimonies he shared with the world:
