Gordon B Hinckley - emotional final Testimony

President Gordon B Hinckley, his final testimony and last address given in the British Isles, (Preston, England). He passed away Sunday 27th Jan 2008. It seems as he becomes very emotional that he knew he'd never be able to return to these shores again, hear his final words fom this address given 25th May 2005.

I have been inactive for well over 2 years. I finally started back to church because of the faith of my husband who is a convert. He never stopped attending, he patiently waited for me to get it together. After 3 weeks of attendance- I felt the spirit rest upon my soul. Thankfully! i LOVE President Hinkley with all my heart. he was a Prophet called for our days.

[@VinniePrisbrey]

He was a lovely man. I really admire how many public interviews and things he did. He had the courage to bring our church out of obscurity. Thanks for posting this!

[@Surfansunshine]

He was a grandfather to me... Like someone else mentioned. Our faith is one huge extended family and I certainly felt that way growing up listening to him. I broke down an cried when he died and still choke up as its so hard having to wait to hear such a wonderful man again... You just know he's a prophet of the lord with how he is. I miss him. God be with you til we meet again.

[@Whateverintheworld]

Being a member of the LDS church is being a member of the world's biggest extended family. President Hinckley was the prophet of God leading a 14 million + membered church and look how humble he is. He was like everyone's grandpa. It gave me goosebumps to watch this video.

[@junior4mariah]

I love him. Im LDS but I havent been to church in about 7 years for my own personal reasons. But I love the church and miss Gordon B Hinckly, he was an awesome man. His testimony is so powerfull

[@peckmike]

I am infinitely more impressed with a man who can stand at a pulpit and say "I love you" than I am with a man who can stand at a pulpit and only present what he believes to be innovative ideas. While I appreciate the blessings of such innovative thinking, I hope to never under-appreciate the profound power of God's pure love. I am grateful for President Hinckley's witness of that love, which witness came to him and through him by a process unknown to many. Thank you for this.

[@Marmac1957]

How I loved this man. I was inactive when he died and his very spirit emanated from his funeral (on TV no less) and put my wife and I in tears. We came back and never left.....we're now temple workers at the St George Temple. God is Great!

[@Cuby2k]

I don't necessarily agree with the Mormon story but I believe that this man was a very good man. That he loved his fellow man and that he contributed to this world way beyond what I understand. Bless you Gordon Hinckley and thank you for the love that you shared on this planet.

[@tripfall224]

I am so thankful for this man. I cannot tell you how much him, his teaching and demeanor has meant to me as a convert and child of God!!! Thank you....what a man!!!

[@FestungLeben]

Any time, Mormons have always treated me and my family like one of them, so why shouldn't at least say "thanks" to the man would once lead them :D

[@andrealugo08]

I love this video, I was a teen when he was a prophet, I remember seeing him and feeling such love for this man, after I became an LDS member, I felt great sadness that I wasn't able to listen to his beautiful words, now that I can (thanks to you) I so very blessed!!

[@wamee]

i am not a member of the LDS church, i probably never will be, being a lesbian but i have always had a strange fascination with it i have to say i have great respect for this man he always seemed so very down to earth and kind, it was so very obvious that he had a great love for his religion and its people

[@scottstevens7196]

I served a mission in Arepuipa, Perú in 1988. I have since to really care about religion much (appologies if that offends anyone) But I just watched this and felt so much peace. He truely was increadible when he spoke. I saw this and about just turned away and didn't watch, now glad I did.

[@skiptheboxingkangaroo]

When I was 12 years old I was in the Salt Lake Temple doing baptisms for the dead. As we were wrapping up things four security guards surrounded as and asked us to stay where we were. They said "You cannot leave this room the First Presidency is passing through. I met Gordon B Hinckley and Thomas S Monson in that hallway. it was a wonderful experience.

[@LifeyApp]

I'm so grateful for President Hinckley! I remember hearing the sad news when he passed away- he's had such a profound impact on my life

[@einc70]

He was the first and the last President from my baptism to my fall away from the Church. He lived longer than I lived faithfully in the Church. That breaks my heart. He was the most dynamic individual Ive ever knowm from the Church. My testimony grow stronger the more I hear him speak again.

[@LadySunshine4eveR]

Einc70... I do not know you or your story, but it is never too late for you to come back! None of us are perfect & make mistakes, but the Lord is always there with His arms stretched out to us & willing to accept us back! He loves us so much that I don't think any of us can ever truly understand the depth of His love for all of us! Whatever your decision, I wish you the best!

[@einc70]

Lorelei Kawchuk I appreciate your words.I recognize when a member speaks. When the time is right I will.

[@kirstycharnook7728]

We are all brothers and sisters. We all make mistakes, we all have our ups and downs. Take my hand and together we shall fight the demons and bring the spirit back to us.

[@josephespinosa706]

Truly a humble servant and a prophet of God...Pres, Gordon B.Hinckley.

[@Truthdetector1955]

All I can say is that I love this man, and know beyond a shadow of any doubt that he is a prophet of God.

[@RetroFiles]

He will be missed and i can't believe im related to this man.

[@comeonyougarn]

Gordon B. Hickley is truely amazing everytime i watch this, there is an amazing warmth in my heart. Im proud to be a LDS member.

[@SethAdamSmith]

I stumbled across this testimony of President Hinckley and was touched. I believe this was given when he took his big tour in 2005. One of his stops on that was my mission, Russia, Vladivostok. Such a great man! I miss him.

[@heatherbrown5939]

I don't believe in the LDS religion/revelation of Joseph Smith, but Gordon B Hinckley's sincerity and loyalty to his Mormon faith is truly inspiring.

[@lindsaypurcell5673]

One of the greatest men I have ever known.

[@philipsoria1]

I love President Gordon B. Hinckley...I miss Him so much...thank you for the love, guidance and immeasurable blessings thru you by God...'till we meet at Jesus Christ's feet.

[@scartouch]

President Hinckley was such a great man. I miss him. I wish I would have listened to him better when I was a teenager.

[@mjury67]

He spoke in a stake conference televised in So Cal about a week before he passed away. There are prophets, good, obedient, and righteous men. And then there are prophets who are giants amongst even themselves. The world will forever be blessed because of President Hinckley's insistence that temples dot the world.

[@DrTerminus]

What a great man, great prophet Pres. Hinckley was! How we miss him!

[@Its-kensi15_HERE]

Such a kind and loving leader and true prophet of God! I love this man as he was such a light to me and still is! Till we meet again💕🙏🏼

[@christian72745]

I was just become a member in 1990 when I hear him speak from that day on he was always been captivating by his wisdom and wits but most of all how he was always making feel his fellow man respected never heard a joke in with malice intentions Good bless you President Hinckley.

[@davisx2002]

This man is my hero! He is so genuine and Christ like. Funny and God fearing.

[@gwenmangelson]

oh how I love this man and his testimony!

[@elijahbutterfield4869]

I don't even hardly remember him, I was so little. but I remember him making me laugh. and now he's making me cry. because I miss him, someone I barely knew anything about is making me cry. because like God, Hinkleys love for everyone was unconditional. and a fraction of his testimony far outweighs anything that I have... he was one of the nicest men I knew... ..and they hate us, for what? our kindness...? .....why do people hate us... I don't get it...

[@jayengari]

I miss him so much, his simple testimony have touched my heart so deep and his strong spirit has been felt by all member during his coming to Indonesia. We know for sure, he is a phrophet of God.

[@johnlds1965]

It's interesting how perceptions differ so much, when I watch this video I feel something very special, I sense a sincere and genuine man who only wants the best for others, I wish you could feel the same as I do.

[@masterjedisam1578]

I never knew the Lord let him visit his missionary country just before calling him home. Thank you for posting this testimony, and the associated dates.

[@tripfall224]

Great man...great Prophet...I love him..he moved me and spoke to my heart.He was prophet when I was Baptized.

[@johnlds1965]

I've been reading some comments above. I'm all for free speach, there will always be those who diagree with us but we all can show kindness and respect, even when we disagree with each other. I would never disrespect another person's faith and would hope others can at least show the same respect to us here, no matter whatever our faith might be. For the record, Mormons beleive in Christ, as our Lord and Savior! Those who show unkindly disrespect, I will block from posting here. Be nice :-)

[@rtiffanytaylor]

" May we stand a little taller and do more than we do." Hail to a prophet we love and miss

[@johnlds1965]

Thanks for sharing that testimony, from inactivity to becoming temple workers, inspiring no less. All the best from across the pond. (PS St. George is beautiful, I was there just a few weeks ago, riding ATV's in the dunes!)

[@mrmn8honeybee]

Today, the 26th is my birthday. It is my birthday ritual to watch a video of and listen to his testimony about the Savior. I am one of the thousands who loved that man.

[@kathleenstriano3260]

I miss this man and his wife. They are with Heavenly Father. No doubt in the Celestial Kingdom. Hope I spelled that right.

[@jediknight5891]

an amazing prophet ! i miss him. grateful for his mark on my testimony. he loves us all through the veil of eternity.

[@johnlds1965]

Thanks for your comments, great to hear such from someone not of our faith, who can appreciate the sincerity of the man. Thanks for taking the time to post your comments, much appreciated. Regards, John.

[@tripfall224]

I am so thankful for this man. I cannot tell you how much him, his teaching and demeanor has meant to me as a convert and child of God!!! Thank you....what a man!!! Absolutely an Apostle of God!!!

[@ChokoCreamPieZilla]

Such a beautiful testimony.

[@markjolyn94]

I am so grateful for President Hinckley and all that he taught and testified of. I know that he was the Lords mouth piece here upon the earth. He was a Disiple of Christ always teaching with love and kindness. Thank you President Hinkley for all you did,amd thank you John for posting this

[@CINJOR1]

He is like my grandpa, since I was a little kid, I followed his teachings with all pourpose if heart, made me the woman I am now. In all the situations and temptations I've been through his words keep coming to my mind and helped me to take right decitions. his words will truly have a longlife impact!..He passed away when I was a grennie in my mission, his words helped to continuos serving and FORGET MYSELF as he taughts us. Love you President Hinckley, till we meet again.!

[@purpleone11]

Looking forward to the day when I will see this wonderful Prophet again. I miss his kinds words, his sweet sense of humor, and most of all his love.

[@britainluver431]

I have been a lifelong member of the Church. I will always remember President Hinckley when he was president. I actually lived to see Howard W. Hunter as president, and they are both amazing presidents. But President Monson is equally as good as Hinckley and Hunter. May president Hinckley always be remembered as a loving and devoted man. Marmac1957 I'm glad you came back to the flock and I wish you and the missus a long and happy life, and an early merry christmas.

[@Mewavcrav]

I adore this wonderful man. He is "my" Prophet, the Prophet when I was baptized. I miss him so. This is such a wonderful video showing the heart of a man who loved as Christ loved.

[@MegaClark55]

Okay i am 19 and am about to go on a LDS mission to Monterrey Mexico for the next 2 years of my life. ha I WOULD NOT leave my family, friends, girlfriend and spend my own earned money for something that is not true. I KNOW it is true with every part of me, like 14 million other people KNOW it true. I love president hinckley!

[@deehee7380]

“Joseph Smith would put the seer stone into a hat, and put his face in the hat, drawing it closely around his face to exclude the light; and in the darkness the spiritual light would shine. A piece of something resembling parchment would appear, and on that appeared the writing. One character at a time would appear, and under it was the interpretation in English. Brother Joseph would read off the English to Oliver Cowdery, who was his principal scribe, and when it was written down and repeated to Brother Joseph to see if it was correct, then it would disappear, and another character with the interpretation would appear. Thus the Book of Mormon was translated by the gift and power of God, and not by any power of man.” (David Whitmer, An Address to All Believers in Christ, Richmond, Mo.: n.p., 1887, p. 12.)

[@Tao_Peace]

Thank you so much Marmac1957 for your touching testimony! Pres. Hinckley was a man of pure love! God bless

[@toble7sarah]

thanks for posting this.....I know the things he shared are true.

[@Jib6170]

I miss Him so much I grew up with Him as my Prophet. I know now that he is in Heaven and happy and at peace. Thank you President Hinckley for everything I know you were and still are a true Prophet of God.

Gordon B Hinckley was truly a great man.

[@utahjeff]

Thank you for posting this video of President Hinckley.

[@johnlds1965]

Someone has kindly downloaded and produced a sub-titled Spanish version of this: Gordon B Hinckley Emotivo testimonio final

[@ctrbuckley]

How can anyone not love this man? Have always had and will always have the deepest respect for him.

[@boylo0675]

my mission call to Puerto Rico is signed by this Great man of God , I know he was a prophet of Gods Church , I am less active right now but not for much longer, I love this Church and I love My God and His Son JesusChrist.

[@MrJayBart]

Excellent. What a great man.

[@apitheous194]

My family was blessed to see him in St.Louis, Mo.

[@littleboybluehiphop]

He lives!!!!!!!!! Without the Atonement! We have nothing!

[@gdog3finally]

littleboybluehiphop Without Jesus Christ and his atonement we have nothing. So very true blue boy but without Joseph Smith we have everything. Praise to the Lord not the man.

[@TheGuicho76]

@Starya7 i really appreciate that testimony. you are a very special person for god!!

[@gingerdurbin9425]

I love you so much President Hinkley. I watch videos of you when I'm down. I hope to meet you one day.☺️

[@awesomenator6]

I always loved President Hinckley, and I miss him, but I love President Monson so very much too and I know that they are both worthy Prophets of God and what they speak is the truth, for it is revelation from God. I know that Christ lives and that he atoned for our sins. I know the Bible and the Book of Mormon are both true and are both works of God given to us so that we may know the truth.

[@rtiffanytaylor]

He was such a wonderful loving man, who spend his life dedicated in the Lord Jesus Christ and the work gospel. He is so funny.He is now counted among the Prophets since the being of time. We will miss him and will always love him for the example he was to us.

[@TheBrushka]

He was a true man of power, devotion and love. He lived honestly and lovingly, God bless him. RIP, he was a true prophet of god!

[@betteharp]

Thank God for agency and the freedom to agree or disagree with any gospel or precept!

[@charlietuaau61]

When you hear his voice you can't help but to fell the spirt when I hear his voice I fell as if my sins are cleansed and know the chruch is true I know the book of mormon is true I know that if people would just read it and pray upon it they will know the truth I wish I was a better member the past few years I am 18 slowly preparing for my mission I know God LIVES and he loves all of us

[@johnlds1965]

Thanks for sharing, made my day, so grateful that you shared your story, wishing you much love from 'across the pond' Sister.

" For he truly was a man of great wisdom humor and love. We miss him and will honor his example by standing a little taller, and doing a little more."

[@cynthiadeen2169]

I'm always touched by one of my admirable prophets, of vourse, I too, am more a cry baby. I'm strong with a health I can only thank my Father in Heaven and Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. I know the Lord doesn't give more than we can withstand, hoeever, I try to stay go c.f. used but now it's becoming a blur, but I will always love my Lord and Father in Heaven despite the challenges that at times causes me to feel esteem despair and blame myself & don't blame Him or anyone else, I believe I'm not worthy enough to have peace & am now exausted to a point of no return. I love and miss my Father in Heaven so much, I wish I couldve done more for him, but I hope when I leave He will forgive me because I'm tired (30 + years

[@rainmaker48188]

i grew up with him as the prophet i love listening to him and miss him.

I have always shed tears everytime I watch this video.

I love this man ever so much, he brings a strong spirit and the strong words of christ. MAY you rest with hevenly father, im so glad i have a strong testomy and have the lds church in my life, Thomas s Monson is now presidant and i love the man just as much.

[@12thansenlds]

How could 38 people dislike this?

[@gatherer2687]

I also miss this good man. It seems to be that he knows his time is ending and I miss the man the was over the church at the time of my youth and helped give me the religion that I cling to today.

[@fobsRwe]

Its almost as if at 3:50 he can see the whole picture. Like he knows that it's his time. He mentions his childhood and you can feel the change not only in his voice, but in the spirit of his talk. God bless that man. Such a tear jerker.

President Hinckley and President Monson are my two prophets that I have grown up with, and I love them both so very much. I know that they are Prophets of God, and that Joseph Smith did restore Jesus Christ's gospel upon this earth. I just have one thing to say. If you believe that the Book of Mormon was made up by Joseph Smith, then you are BLINDED by the things of this world. I know the Book of Mormon is true and that this wonderful church is the true church of Jesus Christ.

When you find out for yourself you know it's true. God communicates to his children even in these days in many different ways. One is through the heart and once we are able to recognize it, we know it. I pray that you can find out for yourself someday too. =)
