Memory
Surrogate Father
My Father died when I was young, and it left a void where Gospel teaching and experience was to be imparted by a male figure. Part of this void was filled by the life and writings of Brother Eyring.
In my life Brother Eyring exists in the company of Neal Maxwell, Gordon Hinckley, Boyd Packer, Spencer Kimball, N. Eldon Tanner, and Hugh B. Brown, as men who have participated in teaching me the Gospel and living a Christ-like life.
Thank you so much for being willing to share this great man with the rest of us! He will forever be a great contributor to the development of my spirituality, as well as continually helping shape and reshape the lens through which I view Religion and the Gospel.
Much Love,
Sione E. Pauni
