In Honor Of

"To think," Elder Wirthlin wrote, "that the Son of God would come into the world so humbly, live His life so perfectly, teach His gospel so completely, atone for our sins so graciously and do it all so willingly!"

I similarly marvel at Christ's beloved apostles, who through word and action testify of Him so tirelessly. And with such gentle power.

Elder Wirthlin was beloved in our home.
What a remarkable, dear man.
What a beautiful, inspiring funeral.

Wouldn't we all like humility to be our hallmark characteristic? Or to be worthy of the description "free of guile"? Thank heaven for the exemplary life and teachings of this noble, good man.
