President Pimentel taught about "Coping." He used a coping saw as a visual and explained that when Plan A doesn't work, we need to COPE and go to Plan B. He gave examples from the scriptures using Matt. 26:39 & 42. The Savior himself prayed for what he wanted and a second time prayed, "but if not... thy will be done."
In the April General Conference, President Uchtdorf said, "I learned that patience was far more than simply waiting for something to happen—patience required actively working toward worthwhile goals and not getting discouraged when results didn’t appear instantly or without effort...It means staying with something and doing all that we can—working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed."
