"In Charge"

How is everything going? Things here are really good. Transfers were last week but I didn't move. I did however get a new companion. Elder Wright is from Idaho Falls. He is a Zone Leader so things are pretty crazy. Yesterday I was in Tulsa City with other elders while he was in a meeting in Phoenix.
This past week has been crazy because I am now "in charge" of Chinle because I know "everything" which actually means "nothing." It's pretty hard. It is a big learning experience that I cannot shirk on. I can do it though. I have all the tools necessary (the Lord, the Spirit, and The Book of Mormon.)
. . . I think that's all for now.

Love,
Elder Brady Blair Parkin

#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?

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 ...
