This man was the President and Prophet of my church. He died yesterday, peacefully, at the age of 97 after serving the Lord all his life, and at President for 13 years.
This is why I loved him:
- he was fearless
- he was real
- he was funny
- he told us that his feelings got more tender as he grew older
- he was tireless
- he bore powerful testimony of what he believed
- he LOVED his wife and missed her immensely after her death
I rejoice that he is receiving the rewards for his life of unfailingly service and purity: an eternal family, joy, rest and approbation from his Heavenly Father. I am grateful that all will continue in this Church in the same manner that it always has, that Christ will lead it through his next prophet and mouthpiece. I am unspeakably grateful that I get to be a part of it.
But... I will miss him.
**For a personal remembrance, go here.
