President Hinckley

We are definitely going to miss this great man, but we're so happy to know that he is with his sweetheart now. It's been interesting to see how the kids have reacted to this news. Whenever Kierra sees a picture of Pres. Hinckley, she says in her sweet voice, "That guy died-ed, huh Mommy. Oh, that's sad." And I was amazed at how much Audrey understands about the plan of salvation. When we were watching some clips of his life, Audrey said, "But Mommy, I think he's gonna live again." This produced a great conversation about, "when Jesus comes again."

But the funny remark came when we were watching the funeral on TV. Audrey kept asking about the casket. And just about every time they zoomed in on the casket, she would run out of the room. We thought she was just bored and wanted to play in the kitchen. Finally, she asked, "He's not going to pop out, is he, Mom?" No wonder why she kept leaving the room, she thought a dead body was going to move around. Where in the world did she get that idea? Scary.
