In the past, Clint has given a tour of the Salt Lake City Cemetery and has shown others where 12 of our past prophets have been buried. He was asked by our ward's mutual group to give the youth this same tour. I was fortunate enough (thanks Dulcie) to tag along and see Clint in his new role as tour guide.
It really was special to walk around the cemetery and come along the headstones of our prophets who have since passed. At each headstone Clint would tell a story about the prophet or ask the youth if they had a special story to share about the prophet. I was touched to hear the testimonies of others and their tender feelings towards our past leaders.
Towards the end we came upon a headstone and as I read the inscription I immediately got tears in my eyes. It was President Hinckley's headstone. Oh how I loved him and loved to hear him speak. I am so grateful I was able to be there that night and to see, hear and feel of the greatness of those who have gone before us and have helped to pave the way.
Thanks for the wonderful tour Clint!

I know that Cemetery! That is where my Grandpa is buried. He was a General Authority and he died in 92'. He is buried in close proximity to the Prophets and apostles. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place.
I'm so glad that you were able to go! We can't wait for the personal tour. I love the memorial day pictures. We had so much fun. What a great family you have!!! Thanks for the fun times.
That is so cool. He needs to take Rob and I sometime.
Thanks for sharing the story. Just seeing a picture of Pres. Hinckley's headstone brings warm remembrances to me.
