	Langford:  Hello, everyone, this is Langford.  Well, it has been some
time since we have conversed with each other, and we have had many thoughts
and wonderments of what the future may hold for this group and for you, as the
TR.  But when we look at the overall picture and the ambition and drive of
each one, we will be your teachers for many days and weeks, and yes, months
and years into the future.  It is all because of your wants and desires to
learn and serve the words of our masters in regards to their wants and
understanding for you as a mortal and all those others that fall into the
category of mortals on your planet.
	The sad part of this wait is because of the time needed to develop your
patience in accepting the words and commands that are given to each one of you
to accomplish.  The patience I speak of is no more than you controlling your
attempts to take what we give you and wait for those things to develop in
their own course of time.  You and all the rest have come to the realization
that time as you know it is fast getting away from you, but you take what is
left and try to accomplish those things that we give each one to do and think
about.  This is not the patience we speak of.  The patience that we speak of
is your ability to absorb and understand the words that you read and that we
bring forth to each one.  This, like I have said, has improved tremendously
from the beginning to what it is today.  Each one of you has learned to be
patient in your ideas of what to do and what the truth brings to each one. 
You have come a long way in your thoughts and abilities to take the truth of
the words we bring and analyze those truths to fit each particular situation
in your life that you live on this darkened world.
	Like I have said before, the darkened world is beginning to shine with
the light of individual mortals such as you and with the belief that each one
has.  The light begins to shine brightly for those that seek the truth and
come to you for explanations of what certain phrases mean.  Yes, in the past
you and the group have assured individuals that they're never alone in the
traversing of this planet.  They are with hope in their hearts of becoming
what they want to become in the faith of our master and his Father.  These are
the two individuals that we rely heavily on when it comes to talking to you as
we are this very moment.  The instructions they give us, your teachers, are
not overwhelming conversations, but simple, down-to-earth words that can be
understood and brought to each one.
	We don't care, really, about the education that you have received in
your days of schooling, because we still take the knowledge that you have
right now and work with that.  The schooling that you have had in the past,
some of it you have entirely forgotten and went on with life as you saw it. 
But this is what we work with, your remembrance of those days and the things
that you learned along this road of life that you have trod.  Like Andrea has
said many times, there is no better teacher than your own personal experiences
that you have come across in the past.  This alone has enhanced your education
far beyond what has been taught to you in your schooldays as you remember. 
The things that were minute to you are now very important in your experiences
and understanding.
	The abilities that you have come across in your understanding of these
words has taken a lot of patience to overcome this eagerness of doing more
than we expected of each one.  This is not what we really want.  We want each
one of you to absorb the words that the teachers bring to each one, to know
what they are speaking of and to accept what they give you.  This is done only
by the patience of each one.  You cannot jump in with both feet, as you say,
and immediately come up with a solution, because it takes time to develop
these things that we give you, not only in your thoughts, but also in the
things that you do physically.  The life that you live is of major importance
to each one of us teachers that are of this group and of all the other groups
that are of this mission.  We dwell with each one of our students and learn
their habits, whether they be good or bad, and try to straighten out those bad
ones and enforce the good ones that each one has.  This, in itself, takes time
to develop.
	Your determination and willingness to do those biddings that are given
to you is without saying of the pride that we have of your teachers, to know
that we can ask each one to do something for us, your celestial friends, and
know that, without a doubt, you will give it your best effort to bring about
these thoughts that we give.  In a lot of cases even this takes time as you
know it, because of those mortals that you come in contact with, not knowing
how they believe or what they understand.  So, again, you have to be patient
in your talking to these individual mortals that come to you, to learn of
their moods and what they really want of you when it comes to speaking of the
words of truth.
	The texts that your read, both of them, have many ideas and prophets to
bring to each one those things that our savior wished for each mortal of this
day and time.  Even though it has been many years of your time since the time
of our savior bringing the words of encouragement and love of our Father to
each and every one, it is still as strong as the day that he spoke the words. 
There are no ifs, ands, or buts about his love and affection for his children. 
It's the same for each and every one.  He has no preferences of races or
creeds or colors.  You are one of his children the same as we, and he loves
each one the same way as a father to a child.
	Again, it has taken time and patience on your parts to come to the
realization of what it really means when you say that the Father is with you
in your efforts and goals that you try to reach.  He lives with you in the
Spirit that was given to you centuries ago.  He is part of you; He is part of
your life, and He knows you, in a lot of cases, better than you know yourself,
which in many cases is not saying too much.  But He is there, and He know who
you are and what transpires in your life.  In your conversations and your
thoughts He is there trying to give you the best way and the understanding
that He wishes you to give your friends and other mortals that walk with you.
	Again, as you develop your patience this has all come to you in the
past, slowly but surely to each one of you, so your thoughts and understanding
of other mortals will be deeper and with more understanding of their needs and
wants.  This has been a subject that has been brought about many times.  It
cannot, in my way of thinking, be enforced enough to make each mortal realize
that time as you know it is not the time as we know it.  We give you these
subjects and problems that you work over and conquer as you walk your daily
lives.  This experience that you have gained in working out these problems has
helped you in more ways than you realize in your own spiritual growth in doing
those things that you wish to be a part of.
	You often long for the days that you will be free enough just to sit
down with clasped hands and with a bowed head, talking to those ones that each
one of us cherish so dearly.  They are our Teachers.  They are our guidance,
and They are the people we all worship.  But it is the truth that They carry
and you know when They speak that it is the truth, and there is no doubt in
your minds.
	This subject can go on and on, but it is time to reinforce the many
times that it has been brought up before to keep your minds active in the way
that we wish them to be and to maybe guide you one more step down this road
that you trod.  The longings of each one of you are the longings that we are
proud to be associated with in bringing about the wants of each one and the
understanding that each one can develop from us talking to each one and
reading the text that you read each time.
	I know my subject has not been very long because of what has transpired
in the recent past, but there is lots of time to talk of other things.  So, as
you go to your homes and rest for the night for you chores of tomorrow, I ask
you to go home with peace and joy in your hearts of knowing that our savior
and our Father are there with you, in spirit and loving care of each one.  As
I have make this final statement in our little talk, I wish to each one of you
a peaceful and restful night.  With this I will say farewell for tonight.  We
will be speaking again, I know.
