A Beloved Apostle

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles passed away last night around 11:30pm at the ripe old age of 91. Elder Wirthlin was the oldest living Apostle. You can see more information on Elder Wirthlin at the LDS.org Website. He was an amazing man, and I absolutely LOVED his last General Conference address titled: "Come What May, and Love It". You can see the entire address by clicking here.

It's always hard for me to see such great men of God leave us, but I think we all knew Elder Wirthlin's time was about up. We could all see the signs during the last few General Conferences. He inspired and uplifted thousands with his talks of encouragement and hope. Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin truly was a man of God and will be missed by many.
