My heart was really tender as I learned of the death of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. Today I'm remembering his most recent talk that I loved!
"Come what may and LOVE it!"
Learn to Laugh: The next time you’re tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead. It will extend your life and make the lives of all those around you more enjoyable.
Seek the eternal: Sometimes the very moments that seem to overcome us with suffering are those that will ultimately suffer us to overcome.
The Principle of Compensation: The third thing we can do is understand the principle of compensation. The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.
Trust in the Father and the Son: He who descended below all things will come to our aid. He will comfort and uphold us. He will strengthen us in our weakness and fortify us in our distress. He will make weak things become strong.

I too was very sad to learn of his passing. His talk "Come What May and LOVE It" was my favorite talk of the conference. I even did a post about it. :) He was a great man. I especially loved when he would talk about his football days. Funny stories and I loved the way he related them to the gospel.
Yep I loved that talk, that is the talk I shared with the girls I visit teach.......he was such a cute little man. We will miss him.

I didn't know that he passed away until I read your blog. So sad. What a great man though. Alanna and I were just talking about this talk the other day. It's a great one.
