Last Letter From MTC

. . . I have been in the MTC now for 2 weeks and I leave for Arizona next Tuesday, July 29. The MTC is crazy cool and there are a lot of good stories.
On Saturday, there was a practice teaching appointment and Elder Shill and I had a lady that was a member and a gentleman that wasn't. I didn't know this until after we taught. It was really cool, they had lots of questions about the Book of Mormon and somehow I knew where to find the answers. I was just rattling them off. It was so cool and the spirit was so strong. It really helped my testimony of the Book of Mormon grow.
We got the July Ensign and I highly recommend reading about Pres. Henery B. Eyring and Deiter F Uchtdorf. They are such amazing men. I want to know more about Pres. Monson . . .
Hope everything continues going well.

Elder Brady Blair Parkin

I had a similar experience in the MTC except I could not understand what the lady was saying because she was a native and the language was still very foreign to me. It is a great time to learn.

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
