There are not very many nights I go through and ask myself why I have been so selfish about something because I am generally not a selfish person. I very much try to be giving in every way that I can. But while talking to an Elder and his companion tonight, I found the answer to my question from last night.
I think I can say that, in regard to the excessive amount of missionaries I've been paired with, this has happened because they are all excellent missionaries who are now being given the opportunity to touch someone else's life who more than likely needs it far more than I do. Not that I'm saying I don't need their help.
When the Elder brought that up, I asked myself "How could I have been so selfish not realize that?" And it really did make me feel bad seeing how self-centered I've acted in that regard.
One thing I've realized in regard to faith is that there are many other people who need their lives touched by God and the only way to do this for some is through the missionaries.
I have faith that God has and will provide me with other missionaries who are just as excellent at teaching.
While I miss and will miss all the missionaries who have left or are soon going to leave, I realize that perhaps the reason is simply someone needs them far more than I do. I have faith that God will enable me to learn more about Him even when these particular missionaries are gone.
God always has a plan and is always willing to help when you need Him to. Rely on God when you have a problem, He always has a solution. Sometimes, though, you just need to ask.
