Sweet Elder Jorgensen face-timed with me Monday morning.
Then he called back that afternoon.
He needed to talk to his mom just a little bit more.
He told me that he's really struggling.
He said that he gets frustrated with other missionaries not following the rules, being lazy and not wanting to work.
He told me that he went on a mission for one reason - to serve.
He said that he gets frustrated with members who don't help, missionaries who don't serve and his lack of patience with all of it.
I told him to focus on him and to not allow others' behavior to effect him.
I told him that he cannot control others' agency.
I told him that all he can do is be his best self.
He said that he's homesick almost every day... but not to the point of wanting to come home... just missing things. I told him that's normal!!
Today is Day 143 in the field!
