President Boyd K. Packer

President Packer has been through so much in his life. He is such an amazing man and really loves his family. So many of the apostles seem to be artistic in some way and President Packer is no different. He loves to do wood carvings and he does an absolutely amazing job. The poem he shared at the most recent General Conference really touched my heart. It is called "Unfinished Composition." Follow this link to read the poem. He is a very bold man when it comes to his talks and I absolutely love that about him. I also loved that him and his wife prayed so diligently for their two sons and were able to keep them on this life longer. President Packer is such an example to me and I am so grateful to has his words to influence my life.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

We always know that the leaders of the church were not always in that position, but we often forget that their lives were very rich before they were called to be an apostle. President Uchtdorf is an amazing man. He fought in multiple wars and held high honors. I knew he was from Germany but I did not realize that he and his family and to escape East Germany in order to protect themselves. He was only a young boy when this happened and it is an incredible story. While reading his talks, I was amazed at how well he is able to touch the hearts of those who read or listen to his talks. They are so reader friendly and his point is very clear. I absolutely loved reading his talks this week and getting to know him a lot better.
