Sister
Virginia H. Pearce, daughter of President Gordon B. Hinckley, said:
"I was in my early teens when Dad was called to be a General Authority.
When you're in that stage of your life, your parents don't look perfect.
In fact, they look less than perfect, and I was quite aware of any human
foibles that my parents displayed, and so the call came as a little
faith crisis for me. I thought, 'How could the Lord call somebody like
my Dad, who is so average and sometimes lacking?'" (Gordon
B. Hinckley: Fifteenth President of the Church [video, 1995]).
As Sister Pearce grew and matured, she came to see her father differently.
She realized that the "human foibles" that seemed so obvious
when she was younger were really nothing when compared with her father's
goodness. |
