How Can I Learn to Be More Patient?

Patience is the capacity to endure delay, trouble, opposition, or suffering without being angry, frustrated, or anxious. We can develop patience by seeking to do God’s will and accept His timing, trusting that He will fulfill all of His promises to us. As we learn to be patient in small things, we prepare ourselves to face larger trials with patience.

My favorite talk on patience:

Robert D. Hales, “Waiting upon the Lord: Thy Will Be Done,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2011, 71–74

“What does it mean to wait upon the Lord?”

How can I become more Christlike?

Jesus Christ set the perfect example for us, and He has commanded us to become as He is. He exemplified characteristics such as faith, hope, charity, patience, humility, purity, diligence, and obedience. As we learn of Him and seek to develop His attributes, we will become the women He and our Heavenly Father would like us to be.

Mosiah 3:19 (Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can become saints)

3 Nephi 12:48; Moroni 7:48 (Invitations to become like the Savior)

Thomas S. Monson, “Ponder the Path of Thy Feet,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2014, 86–88

Activity: Cooking with our Adopted Grandma

We have adopted a few grandparents in our neighborhood.  Here are some photos of the fun we had making Cheese Twists.

Cheese Twists

2 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup oil
2/3 cup milk
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 425. Mix dry ingredients.  Combine liquids and add to dry. Stir.  Roll dough between two sheets of waxed paper into a square shape.  Remove top paper.  Sprinkle half the cheese down middle.  Fold over one side.  Add remaining cheese.  Fold over other side and seal dough to itself.   Cut into 12 strips.  Twist in opposite directions and lay on greased baking sheet 1 inch apart.  Bake 12-15 minutes at 425 degrees.
