President Gordon B. Hinckley to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom

President Hinckley is recognized by member of the LDS Church as a prophet, seer and revelator. He is the senior apostle of the church, which is organized on the pattern described in the New Testament. He will be 94 years old on Wednesday. I have felt the witness of the Holy Spirit many times as I've heard him speak. He truly is a great and capable man, especially at his advanced age, and deserves to be more widely known. I view him as every bit as much a prophet as Moses, Joshua, Samuel, Peter, Paul, James or John. He holds the same authority that the Peter, James and John held in the early church, which was lost with the death of the the original apostles and has been restored in our time.
