Our Prophet....My Prophet



President Hinckley always uses his cane, just not much for walking. Accra, Ghana.












See what I mean. He was told to carry a cane and that's what he does - he carries it.

Elder Russell M. Nelson is at far right. Accra, Ghana.












We marveled at the contrast of Joseph Smith's visit to the White House to meet with President Van Buren and President Hinckley's visit to the White House to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor given aUnited States citizen.

The White House, Washington, D.C.









President Hinckley said that "Sister Hinckley would have loved this event."

You just can't help breaking into a smile when you are around Gordon B. Hinckley.

President Hinckley is patient with all the photographers who are constantly taking his picture. He did say to us one time, in a quiet tone , that "if all the cameras in the world were thrown into the ocean, there would be a great flood." Kirtland Temple.

Who can resist President Gordon B. Hinckley's warmth?

President and Sister Hinckley were just the trademark of happiness in Ghana..

No one could keep their eyes off of them. Their warmth was infectious.

Their kind waves of the hand always made everyone feel loved.

Accra, Ghana
These two are love birds, no less.




I'll never forget when President Hinckley invited his precious wife to the stand in Moscow and introduced her to the 2,000 present as his "Babushka.''

It brought the house down - they loved it. Moscow, Russia.




When we first published it, one woman wrote to us and said,

"If people don't believe Mormons are Christians, just have them look at this picture of Sister Marjorie Hinckley." I so agree.

How blessed we are to live during the administration and ministry of President Gordon B. Hinckley.

This is a week we will always remember! Do you know that President Hinckley became the prophet on my birthday in 1995?

I will miss him greatly but I am already looking forward eagerly to the first words President Monson will speak as prophet.

Ab's, thanks for sharing and researching the pictures.
They too are some of my favorite!

President Hinckley was awesome but our new prophet will lead us on to where the Lord wants us to continue on the path to.

I love the living Prophet.
