Not a word.



In 2000, I went with my family to see The Testaments in Salt Lake City. Mom had to walk out with baby Nathan and Hannah in the middle of it, but as the rest of us walked out, Dad spotted James E. Faust and his wife walking out of the same showing. James E. Faust was the second counselor to Gordon B. Hinckley at that time, but I was clueless to all that because I was so young.

Dad was able to get a chance to meet him, and then introduced him to us kids. When he came to me, he didn't say a word but just placed his warm soft hands on my cheeks and stared into my eyes. I had no idea who he was, but I knew without a doubt that he was somebody incredible, and I trusted and loved him. I was so overwhelmed with the Spirit that I broke down and sobbed on my dear Mom. There is a special place for this great man in my heart, and just seeing a picture of him last night made me melt.

While browsing around on LDS.org just now, I came across this talk that he gave in 1982. It's so sweet, and such an incredible reminder of what a great and loving man he is.
