Prophets of Our Day: Gordon B Hinckley

Who could not love this man.  He was a great leader and prophet of our dispensation.  I have a great love and respect for him and the work he has done for us.  What a wonderful legacy he has left for his posterity and the Saints!
Gordon B Hincley always encouraged others to look for the good in others and also to look for the good you could give to others.  He was a great example of service.
His powerful testimony ringing with true gospel principles

He spoke and taught many true and everlasting principles.

We Must Remember the Atonement of Jesus Christ
“We Cannot Forsake the Word of the Lord”

Revelation Continues

The Book of Mormon Is a Tangible Influence

“The Church Is Not Complete without Temples”

Proclamation on the Family

Selfishness Is a Major Cause of Divorce

Importance of Motherhood .  “God Bless You, Mothers!”

“Rear Your Children in the Ways of the Gospel”

He Prayed for the Youth of the Church

During a worldwide satellite broadcast, President Gordon B. Hinckley counseled the youth of the Church to do six things:
  1. 1. 
    Be grateful.
  2. 2. 
    Be smart.
  3. 3. 
    Be clean.
  4. 4. 
    Be true.
  5. 5. 
    Be humble.
  6. 6. 
    Be prayerful.
Things he accomplished:
He planned for 100 temples by the year 2000.  The Conference Center was built.  Salt Lake was host of 2002 Olympics and many volunteers were a major part in helping be a host city.  The Nauvoo temple was rebuilt

Witty and charming, President Hinckley had a way to make us a giggle but also was able to speak prophetically when teaching.  I will always be grateful for this humble man of God and his service to the Lord
