Dear Conference Center,
I am sure, like so many of us, you will truly miss the man that was President Gordon B. Hinckley. Though he is gone in mortality, his sweet spirit will surely live on in your halls, rooms, and the hearts of those who loved him. His diligence in creating an environment, through you, that so showed the nature of the Church from beginning to present through such amazing craftsmanship and art, was one of my favorite places upon going to Salt Lake City for the first time in August. I hold you, this particular building, close to my heart because it shows how the talents that our Heavenly Father has given us can truly be used to make a relevant mark on the world around us. So much of the member's feelings and history is exhibited through such means. I knew as we were on the tour that the abilities I had been given by my Heavenly Father were truly a gift, just as it was gift to the artisans of the work I was seeing in art, architecture, the written and spoken word. President Hinckley also helped us stay aware of these things by stressing the importance of being educated. Because of this emphasis, I believe its one of the reasons I came to know one of my callings in life. I am truly grateful for such great men who help guide our path through the trusted hand of our Heavenly Father, even Gordon B. Hinckley. May his light so shine like the warmth of sunlight from our hearts to others at this time, so that we may continue to BE the example he would want us to be.
