oh how i love elder wirthlin.

"within the ranks of the general authorities, there is no man more beloved than Joseph Bitner Wirthlin. we praise him for living the sermons that he preaches." - elder Jeffrey R. Holland.

love this article on Elder Wirthlin's life.

Elder Wirthlin: "But the dial on the wheel of sorrow eventually points to each of us. At one time or another, everyone must experience sorrow. No one is exempt...Learning to endure times of desappointment, suffering, and sorrow is part of our on-the-job training. These experiences, while often difficult to bear at the time, are precisely the kinds of experiences that stretch our understanding, build our chracter, and increase our compassion for others.

"The next time you are 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."
