President Eyring strikes me as a man who loves
education. He was eager to learn and
even when he realized Physics wasn’t his passion he still finished his degree
before moving on to something else. The
other thing that is inspiring about President Eyring is that money is not the
most important thing to him. You can
tell from the big choices in his life that he was willing to do what the Lord
wanted him to do rather than to follow the money or prestige the world offered
him. I also admire how humble he was and
how willing he was to go to the Lord for answers. Even after he was given advice by men and
women he respected the final decision always lay with the Lord. You can tell that the Lord is his best and
most trusted confidant. It was also
interesting to note all of the contact he had early on with leaders in the
church. I didn’t know he was President
Kimball’s nephew.
Everything
about President Eyring’s testimony points back to his love and devotion to God
the Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ. I love his tenderness and the emotion
that always comes into his voice as he bears witness of them. He has such a powerful testimony of them and
their reality. He testifies beautifully
of their love for us. He is sensitive to
spiritual things and has taken the time to grow that spirituality so. His life is a testament that he has worked
hard to foster the spirituality that emanates from him. He also has a powerful testimony of prayer
and of a personal relationship with God.
That was obvious from the experiences in his life. It makes me want to grow closer to my
Heavenly Father and to my brother, Jesus Christ.
