Within a few minutes after learning of our president’s death, I felt the heaviness of responsibility settle upon me, along with important impressions of what I was required to do now….

I share four impressions that will draw us closer to our Savior:

• First, strengthen our faith in Him.
• Second, increase our humility.
• Third, seek help from others.
• Fourth, be patient.
