President James E. Faust
I was saddened to hear about the passing of President Faust. What a great man. I am sure it was a joyous reunion with his Maker.
A quote from his final conference talk in AprilThe Healing Power of Forgiveness
President James E. Faust
All of us suffer some injuries from experiences that seem to have no rhyme or reason. We cannot understand or explain them. We may never know why some things happen in this life. The reason for some of our suffering is known only to the Lord. But because it happens, it must be endured. President Howard W. Hunter said that "God knows what we do not know and sees what we do not see."
President Brigham Young offered this profound insight that at least some of our suffering has a purpose when he said: "Every calamity that can come upon mortal beings will be suffered to come upon the few, to prepare them to enjoy the presence of the Lord. . . . Every trial and experience you have passed through is necessary for your salvation."
If we can find forgiveness in our hearts for those who have caused us hurt and injury, we will rise to a higher level of self-esteem and well-being.

He was such a wonderful man. I was able to meet him on my mission.
I love President Faust. I remember a BYU fireside where he was speaking and asked his wife to come stand beside him. "I've never kissed you in front of this many people," he said, before giving a sweet, sweet kiss to his sweetheart. What an amazing and meek man!
Keep up the good work.
