I thought that this week I'd just say a couple of things about President Hinckley. He's definitely been my favorite prophet since I've been alive. Basically, he's been the only prophet. I guess I just want to let you all know that I'm grateful for everything he did. He was the prophet that I grew up with and a man that just radiated the spirit. He was amazing, and I think everyone of us can learn from him. He truly showed us how to love and serve. I actually have a quote that pretty much explains how great he was and how special we are to be here in these last days.
You were generals in the War in Heaven and one day when you are in the spirit world, you will be enthralled by those you are associated with. You will ask someone in which time period they lived and you might hear, "I was with Moses when he parted the Red Sea ," or "I helped build the pyramids," or "I fought with Captain Moroni." And as you are standing there in amazement, someone will turn to you and ask you which of the prophets' time did you live in? And when you say "Gordon B. Hinckley " a hush will fall over every hall and corridor in Heaven, and all in attendance will bow at your presence. You were held back six thousand years because you were the most talented, most obedient, most courageous, and most righteous.
Elder Boyd K. Packer

I feel the same way, President Hinckley was the only prophet I ever knew. I love that quote!
i know what you mean. he's the only prophet i've known. i was very blessed to get to go to his funeral and viewing. he was an awesome man!!!
He really was a great prophet, as all prophets are great. I think that the most important thing to take from his life is that he was just a wonderful man and always doing what was right.
