President Faust 1920-2007

Not too long ago, I remember when President Faust came to visit the ward. Brighton and the rest of the children were on the stand and they sang for him. During the meeting, I remember him sitting there, very quietly, and I watched him. An elderly gentleman quietly looking into the faces of the congregation, and back down to his scriptures. Now when it was his turn to speak, however, he rose and stretched his arms out, smiling, and his body seemed to take on a new energy. He spoke about how special our ward was. He pronounced a blessing on the children that sang, and then on the whole congregation. A personal, special witness for us, from a living Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. I was happy to be there that day. I was glad that my son could sing for one of the Lord’s servants. President Faust has a certain quality in his voice that I really enjoy hearing. It has a certain timbre that makes me smile.

Four days ago, our Father in heaven brought President Faust back home.
