I was saddened to realize that Elder Wirthlin passed away last night. Surprised? No. And actually happy for him. I am so thankful for his life, his devotion, and his humor.
When I was in a Primary Presidency, he came to visit our stake for Stake Conference. The Stake President, Terry Turk, had asked us to spend the few weeks prior to conference learning all we could about him so the he would be "our apostle." That exercise truly endeared him to me. I love that man. Every time he spoke in the past 10 years, I felt that somehow he belonged a little bit to me. We've had this little connection, he and I. He has spoken directly to me many times. Oh, you too?? Hmm. Well. . . today I want to say, loud and clear,
"Come what may, and Love it!!!"

Great post Linda. I loved his story in conference about the babysitter experience. It is interesting how these great men leave us with so much wisdom from their conference addresses......
Oh, Jamie dreamed last night that I had a baby and I stoled her name "Luke" for the baby. You'll be the first to know when I'm pregnant........I think the melanium will work.
Wow Aunt Lenelle, it seems to me like you'll be having another little one to add to your family...seriously, if one person dreams about it- no biggie, but TWO...that's a whole new meaning!
By the mouth of two or three wittnesses shall all things be brought to pass. haha
