I was at a fireside last night on the Dead Sea Scrolls. There was a professor from BYU teaching about the different DSS they have found and the treasures of knowledge they have revealed. It is fascinating to me how much there is that has been lost through translation of the Bible into English. The Jews were so careful in how they transmitted the Bible and copied it onto the scrolls. I have a feeling we need to study more about the Middle East and the Old Testament.
At the end of the fireside, the Stake President announced that President Hinckley had died surrounded by his family. I just think what a wonderful reunion that would be between he and his wife. He was truly a great man and prophet. My friend was telling me about BYU's graduation last April. When Vice President Dick Cheney entered the Marriott Center, the crowd warmly welcomed him, but when President Hinckley entered, there was such love for him and the Spirit was awesome there. One of the first times I saw President Hinckley at BYU was at a fund-raiser meeting. It wasn't even a religious meeting, and I could totally feel the Spirit testifying to me that he was the prophet. I am so grateful for the sacrifices he made to lead the Church, especially after he lost his wife.
BYU has the coolest slide show tribute to Pres. Hinckley
