Gordon B. Hinckley's ministry was marked by his genuine love for the people of the world. In his years of service, he traveled the globe coming face to face with those of all nationalities, and he extended his hand to bless and strengthen them. With the needs of the less fortunate in mind, President Hinckley established the Perpetual Education Fund, offering financial and educational help to those with limited opportunities. Yet despite the demands of duties, President Hinckley still reached out to the one. While in England preparing for the groundbreaking of the Preston temple, President Hinckley was informed that in the audience was an old friend. When he learned that one of his dear friends of years ago-- when he was a young man as a missionary-- was in the audience, he came off of this stand and worked his way through the audience with emotion, seeking to find Robert Pickles. When he found him sitting in a wheelchair, he took hold of his hand. They embraced one another. Tears streaming down both of their cheeks, and it was a great reunion. That is so typical of President Gordon B. Hinckley-- his great love for the Saints.
