Sister Bolander gave an excellent lesson on Sunday titled "In the Meantime". The lesson talked about patience. Below are a few quotes from the lesson.
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf--"God wants to help us to eventually turn all of our weakensses into strengths, but He knows that his is a long term goal. He wants us to become perfect, and if we stay on the path of discipleship, one day we will. It's OK that you're not quite there yet..."
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf--"To me it appears that our splendid sisters sometimes undervalue their abilities--they focus on what is lacking or imperfect rather than what has been accomplished and who they really are. The good news is that this also points to an admirable quality: the innate desire to please the Lord to the best of your ability. Unfortunately, it can also lead to frustration, exhaustion, and unhappiness."
Elder Orson F. Witney--"No pain we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility...through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire."
Elder Jeffery R. Holland--"We speak about 'excellence' a great deal, but by definition, excellence does not come easily or quickly. It is simply a truism that nothing very valuable can come without sacrifice and effort and patience...Many of the most hoped for rewards in life can seem an awfully long time coming."
