Our Beloved Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin


I was so sad to hear of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin's passing last night. He was the oldest living apostle at this time at 91 years old. I am so glad that he has been reunited with his beloved wife and I am sure that they are so happy. I will miss hearing from him at General Conference. I loved his talk he gave just two months ago, 'Come what may, and love it!' I've reread his talk a few times and feel like it is one of the talks that was 'meant for me.' I am so grateful for Brother Wirthlin's life of service, he was a wonderful example.

I loved that talk he gave too. I felt like it was one just for me along with the one from the Prophet about finding joy in the journey. I love conference:) Do you remember when he spoke last october and he started shaking and one of the other apostles came and help him up? I was crying my eyes out. It was so precious.
