I've been home from my mission for a couple of months now. Life has changed dramatically for me. However, one thing has not changed, and that's the fact that the Gospel is the SAME no matter where we go. With that in mind, I want to talk about some of the lessons I have learned since being home. It's a long way up this new mountain of trials and lessons. Are you ready to climb?

Thinkin' about Patience
I have been thinking a lot lately about how patient I am being. Am I really being as patient as I need to? I have some things that I would like done, that I would like changed, and I want them right now! So why do I have to wait then?
Simply, I think when we have to wait, we appreciate it more and give it more time and thought. We learn the lessons that we have to, and learn that it is not about us, but about others. I have been trying to increase my patience and to look forward to the day when I achieve what I hope to achieve. It will be more worth it to me then than it is now.
