I actually had the good fortune to be able to take a couple of days off of work and road trip it to SLC from CA to attend the Priesthood session with my 14 and 12 year old sons. What I took away from that session was an overwhelming love and appreciation for Pres. Hinkley. About 10 minutes before the session started, a voice over the PA system asked everyone to take their seats. A hush fell over the crowd, as we eagerly awaited Pres. Hinkley's entrance. About 3 minutes before the session started, he entered. Everyone, in unison, arose and remained standing until he sat down. We stood up out of love and respect for the prophet, not because everyone else happened to be standing also. I had such an overwhelming desire to shake his hand that I actually wondered for a brief second if it was possible to race to the front without getting stopped by security. Needless to say, I'll have to wait for a different occasion to shake his hand. Getting thrown out of conference is not the example I want to set for my boys. My 12 year old asked me if Pres. Hinkley has seen Christ. I said that prophets in the scriptures had, so I assume that modern prophets have also. Quite a concept for a 12 year old to digest. My son wondered if Joseph Smith thought he would see God as an answer to his prayer in the Sacred Grove, or if he went expecting an answer to his question to come the way we receive answers to prayers.
