love.


i am filled with gratitude and love right now. after learning of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlins death, i read this article on LDS.org and was reminded of the spirit of his that i felt every time i watched him speak in general conference. his talk this year about "come what may, and love it" was so refreshing and uplifting while i was going through a time of personal struggle in my life. also thinking back to 2 years ago, when he spoke on love, it was so touching because he started shaking and Elder Nelson got up and epitomized the love and charity he spoke about, by standing beside him and holding him still and upright for the rest of talk... priceless. beautiful.

i'm so greatful to have the church in my life.
