"God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your PRAYERS and to fulfill your DREAMS. But He can't if you don't PRAY and He can't if you Don't DREAM." Jeffrey Holland

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin


Dear Elder Wirthlin,

You've been on my mind the last few days.
Sunday I reread the wonderful talk you gave at General Conference in October and marked it up some more.

I watched you talk one last time on our DVR before the Dish man came to switch out our satellites Monday

I spoke of you in Scripture Class Tuesday and promised that we would study your talk next week.

Also, Tuesday when one of my daughters called to talk about a problem I encouraged her with the words your mother taught you so long ago which you shared in this talk, COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT.

Later in the day I received an email announcing you have passed away.

Now you are with your beloved wife, parents, cousin Gordon and so many other loved ones.


I am happy for you.
Sad for us.
Sad for me,
But, Come what may and love it.
