SPOKANE, WASHINGTON -- President Hinckley, in town for the dedication of the Spokane Temple, spoke to 12,000 sharply dressed MIA and Young Adult aged young people assembled last Sunday.

President Hinckley couldn't help but predict a bright future for the next generation. "We're counting on you. Don't ever let us down; don't let your parents down. Don't ever do anything that would weaken the family chain."

President Hinckley showered the youth with compliments and exhorted them to follow the six "B's:" be grateful, be smart, be clean, be true, be humble and be prayerful. "You will bring honor to this church," he said.

As he left, the congregation rose to their feet to quietly wave good-bye.
