I
have always respected and felt a great love for President
Hinckley as I have listened to him give talks at General
Conference, read his books, and watched him during
various television interviews. As I have been reading
his biography the past few weeks the respect and love
I have for him has grown as I have realized just what
an incredible man he is. He loves the Lord and that
love is what guides his life. He makes all of his
decisions based on the Lord because the Lord is his
first priority. Both President and Sister Hinckley
are very positive individuals. They find the best
in life and love laughing at the situations that are
thrown at them. Sister Hinckley is a fabulous example
of a great mother. She found such joy in her children
and in their accomplishments. Her family meant everything
to her and she was always available to them. Whenever
she was with someone everything centered on them,
she listened and cared and made people feel as if
they were the most important person.

Sister
Walker was the wife of my mission president. She lived
her life in a way that the Savior was in her countenance.
I always felt good in her presence. When called into
President Monson's office to receive the call to serve
as Mission President & Wife she was sad at the
prospect of leaving her children & grandchildren.
She was the world's best Nana. When her youngest son
Matthew & his wife Amy had their first baby she
handed out pencils to celebrate his birth. She was
so proud of him. I loved how much she loved her family
and that is where her center was. She always was so
strong. She was terrified of speaking in public and
while serving with her husband in Indiana she would
shake when having to get up and speak, but she did
it and did it with a smile. I remember sitting in
a waiting room at the hospital when my companion had
surgery and looking up and seeing Sister Walker walk
in. She came to sit with me and make sure I was okay
during that scary time. I cherish that day because
of the one on one time I had with her. She loved lighthouses
and every time I see one now I remember her and the
light that she shed in my life.

Stephanie
is only 20 years old but has the most beautiful soul.
Her beauty starts at the surface. She has a beautiful
smile, gorgeous hair, athletic figure, and more. But
her beauty is more than just skin deep. She is kind
to all that she comes in contact with. I was speaking
with a co-worker about her one day when I was told
how a parent had told this teacher how this woman
had changed her sons life. She had treated him with
kindness when many others had not. I have seen this
with my own eyes as she has befriended some that others
would barely even talk to. She is gracious and finds
moments to thank others who have touched her life,
from her basketball coach to the office staff. She
radiates a spirit about her because she chooses to
live her life in a way that the Spirit is constantly
with her. She has accomplished so much in her life
due to her hard work and dedication and she follows
the spirit in all decision making. She has taught
me that if you work hard and follow the Lord that
you can accomplish anything.
