remembering james e. faust

it's been a while since we've posted (summer is busy!) but i wanted to make sure i gave a farewell shout out to president james e. faust, who passed away last week at the age of 87.

elder faust has always been one of my favorite apostles of the LDS church and he will definitely be missed. one of his last talks was at a church educational system fireside about a month ago that brandon and i listened to online for FHE, where he spoke about the need to work hard at the gospel and in marriage but that the lord will reward us for our efforts. i really loved that talk and felt like he was speaking just to me, about not taking too much counsel from your fears and how to develop your self esteem. he also said that worth has little do with age and everything to do with service...and i think his willingness to serve is one of the things that made him such an amazing man. we will miss him!!
