We love Elder Wirthlin's message from October General Conference, and will surely remember it for a very long time. We love his mother's advice and we want to remember it too - Come what may, and love it! We remember his previous message as he stood speaking as if nothing was wrong, but he was so shaky we thought he might tumble to the floor. We remember Elder Nelson came to his side and tenderly stood beside him to help steady him as he continued without hesitation. His voice was also shaky, and somewhat weak. It seemed that he had to almost force his words out because of his poor health, yet he spoke loud and clear as he testified of the truths he was sharing with us. He shared many other things with us that moment as we saw how he endured and how devoted he was to our Savior and His teachings. He was a man of faith. With his death comes a sadness for us, but also a joy knowing he is again with his beloved wife. I just finished reading a great Christmas memory of Elder Wirthlin, whom we will miss, and I want to share it here. Maybe you will enjoy it too.

Great article! I'm a big list creator also. I use different colors of pads for different lists (yellow for work, white for routine stuff, etc...) That way everything is separated and I know what list to grab.
I also loved the "Plan to Serve" point from the article. From watching a friend's kids, to taking a dinner to someone, to visiting nursing homes/soup kitchens. If I don't schedule it in, it just remains a good intention and the opportunity passes by.
Thanks for the article!
