Lesson on Patience - Elder Pack (12/3/12 Letter)

Hello family and others!!!

I love the way in which the Lord works.  It makes little sense to us sometimes, but it happens to happen just at the right time and in a way which we can never comprehend.  Today we had to learn a little about patience which was interesting, but He made everything work out just like it was supposed to.  We had our activity for the district, and it was little but we had a good time.  The activity left us with little time for much else, so we came back after going and buying things for the week and found out that my companion forgot the keys to the house in the house of the other elders.  He got really angry but the funny thing is at the beginning I didn't feel anything.  I knew that there wasn't much that we could do about it.  I wasn't really frustrated the whole way riding back to the Elder's apartment, but when we were on the way back I did start to feel that my patience warring out a little because I was thinking about what time it was and then about the other things that we had to do before it was time to go out and work.  We had only 20 min before our first lesson.  We were a little far away from our area, I hadn't been able to write my letter or even finish washing our clothes. When I realized that these thoughts were starting to affect me in a negative manner,  I had to stop and say a pray for strength so as not to lose my patience. I know that the Lord was ready to help me and He did...haha!!

So we had some success.  Some people are going well and starting to show fruits of repentance. We are working hard and trying to help others!!!

I had to go on changes with another missionary and try and help him this week.  It was fun.  His name is Elder Calpulalpan and he is form Puebla Mexico. We had a good time and I think that we both took things from our time together.

I have no time sorry!  I love you all and I hope that you have a great week.
