One of my favorite ever talks is the one you quoted from Pres. Eyring.<br /><br />I love having the reminder to always keep learning!<br /><br />Thanks Amy!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01001707486830789361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610362794837278678.post-58905408939707075882009-08-14T20:37:33.715-07:002009-08-14T20:37:33.715-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01001707486830789361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610362794837278678.post-61316273345122133392009-08-14T14:40:10.180-07:002009-08-14T14:40:10.180-07:00Oh, it was probably just me.

I know they are subject to human frailties just like the rest of us, but because they keep their minds learning, their minds are active and sharp to the end, not clouded with dementia. I am sorry if I wasn't clear on that.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064824229039891726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610362794837278678.post-51372317588272565512009-08-14T12:40:07.935-07:002009-08-14T12:40:07.935-07:00Oh, and I realized that I had originally put "...Oh, and I realized that I had originally put "Amy H." but I changed it a while ago.

I don't know if you meant to say that general authorities/apostles don't suffer physical ailments or just that their minds are more sharp. But I know of several who have had health problems.<br /> Pres. Faust had a serious condition, which I can't remember if it was one of the conditions you listed but I know it did have to do with mental functioning. Pres. Monson suffers with diabetes and Pres. Packer has experienced problems relating to declining health as well. <br />I don't think that they are immune to humanity, but yeah they study and work instead of sitting down/waiting to die like many elderly people do.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514119818594309591noreply@blogger.com
