You will be missed
Give BYU another 40 years to see what rate of General Authorities are Utah fans and which are BYU fans. Then you should let us know if all the General Authorities are Ute fans. Right now it's not really fair, but then I guess it's not supposed to be fair. Notice I didn't write it in the SL Tribune's article!
Elder Wirthlin was an Apostle of the Lord, and an avid Utah fan.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
The Ute haters and anti-Mormon BYU haters should keep that in mind and try to follow Elder Wirthlin's example of being an avid fan and a good sport.
Utah Alum / BYU Fan
I JOKINGLY respond to those BYU alumni who refer to their alma mater SERIOUSLY as the Lord's University, that if one only reviews the alumni lists of each school for the names of general authorities it is very clear which of the two institutions is the Lord's University. And it isn't Blue & White....Yet.
Best wishes to the Wirthlin family in their time of joy and grief.
In all seriousness, my condolences to the Wirthlin family. May the spirit comfort you during this time. Elder Wirthlin was always a highlight speaker for me during conference weekend. His last talk was an instant classic.
- enduring to the end
- teaching our children correct principles
- finding the 'peace' that the Gospel brings
- death is but a gateway to future happiness
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to face death with the level of confidence and faith that Elder Wirthlin displayed. The truth is - we can - like him, we just have to pay the price. Is it worth it?
He was a gift to us, nothing more. Live by his teachings and be grateful for his guidance.
See you soon,
Bill
de hombres como el, en nuestras vidas. Hasta siempre.
