Work, Work, Work

Yesterday I started on a roll of 4-of-5 days of work. It is crazy and i never seem to get out of there on time. I usually get out at around 10:50 pm. The store is going through a lot of constant changes. The company finds the things that are selling well and then they have to place it so that there is more room on the shelves for it and so that the customer can get to it easier. Along with that, the items that don't sell either get condensed or deleted from our inventory. Customers don't like it when these changes occur and i got an ear full last night when i was working with on one of these "resets" of product.
I usually don't mind it but for some reason this customer last night was really annoying me with her complaints. It isn't fun but it is what has to happen. Overall, i am enjoying my job but at the same time i cannot wait to quit and be a little more liberated. I guess that is understandable isn't it?

Change is hard for some people. I also get upset when things are moved around and I can't find them but I totally understand why they do it. Have you sold any vitamin water or M&Ms lately? :)

That is the way people are too. It is nothing that you will not encounter in the mission, that's for sure. Just keep on keeping on.

33 Beginnings

Why is it that the beginning of something is the most exciting part of something? Humans crave newness. The opening day of a new sports season. The first day of school. New Years. For a society that fears the unknown so much, there is a lot of weight placed on beginnings. Starting something new is symbolic of leaving something old behind. It could be a bad habit or an old relationship or even just a former version of self. This seems to be the most prevalent reason behind the excitement for newness. We want to leave our old selves behind.  Every day, month, or year could have a justification attached to it on why that day is so special and labeled as a day to start something new. Often the beginnings happen with no forethought or attention given at all. These non-meditated, organic beginnings are possibly the most beneficial. They carry far less stress than dissected inceptions. I once read a book called "They Both Die at the End" by Adam Silvera. Talk about a spoiler alert.

Once upon a time, a young boy known for being a voracious reader entered the world of Goodreads.... Alright, alright, so when I started Goodreads I was not a voracious reader and even now I consider myself more a bookworm than a voracious reader. Don't ask me the difference because I have no concrete definition to go off of. I simply know that there are a lot of people out there who read a lot more than I do although I do love reading. I started on Goodreads eight years ago and have been rather active on there ever since. In the past two years, however, I have become enveloped in the community of readers that is there. I used to try to keep my reading to more the Classic novels and rarely go outside that genre. My lovely reading community finally helped me break out of my narrowness and now I really enjoy everything from nonfiction to historical fiction but I now have a special affinity toward Young Adult fiction. For one, it is easier to read. The stories are easy to follow

An Honor

This past week has been crazy. On Friday we lent our truck to the many Farms Elders so we were walking in a giant windstorm, Saturday it turned into a dust storm that knocked the power out. Luckily we got our truck back that morning. Elder Soderling and I have been sick the past two days so it has been an interesting week. I feel better though. This coming Saturday (the 18th) we have baptisms: C & A, the children of P. I have had the opportunity of teaching them every lesson and they have given me the honor of baptizing them. I've never done this before but I'm excited. Things are going well and transfers are coming up (Oct. 22). I don't know what will happen or even what I want to happen. I think that's all for this week. Love, Elder Brady Parkin PS I got my haircut too. Shorter than ever since the buzz cut at age 3 I think. Sorry no picture yet.
