Dear Family,
There is a quote that I read often and it is given to us by President Monson. He says, "Life is full of difficulties, some small, and others of a more serious nature. There seems to be an unending supply of challenges for one and all. Our problem is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to such challenges, forgetting that frequently, the heavenly virtue of patience is required."
These past couple of months have been so much fun, watching new missionaries progress, and observing the different abilities of each individual, but there is often a case where a few missionaries forget their purpose. The opportunity I have to help them remember is incredible, but sometimes it is frustrating. In many instances, I have the desire to lash out, and start exhorting them because of their disobedience and diligence, but I take a second to think and then speak with love. What is happening to me?!?!
All I know, is that if the Savior stood beside me, I would want to be the best example that I can be. In these different situations, I just have to remember, the love and patience Jesus Christ had and still has for me. I know He lives.
Love,
Elder Resolme
