Tuesday and Wednesday were just a tad bit hectic for Corey and me so I didn’t get a chance to post about Elder Wirthlin until now. In fact, I didn’t even know about Elder Wirthlin’s passing until around 8:00 pm on Tuesday.
Over the last few General Conferences, I’ve enjoyed listening to his talks. I also wondered if it was coming time for him to depart this world since he has given his talks while sitting down for the last few Conferences.
I remember that during the last time he gave a talk at the pulpit his left leg started to shake badly and Elder Nelson came up behind Elder Wirthlin to help steady him. I remember thinking, “What an example of Christ-like love and how one should buoy others up in their time of need.” This incident touched me greatly.
A few years ago, Corey and I had the chance to attend a Regional Conference at the Marriott Center. President Monson and Elder Wirthlin were the two speakers. I remember enjoying Elder Wirthlin’s talk a lot and feeling the Spirit while I was there.
I’ll miss Elder Wirthlin, but I’m happy that he’s with his wife again.
