Work, work, work

How is everything going? Things here are great. Last time I wrote there were two baptisms coming up. Now there are three. K has a date now for February 16. It is really exciting.
Transfers are this week but both me and my companion are staying. That is good news because now I get to see all of the baptisms. I hope. That is what I said last time before that odd and crazy transfer. I have learned just nor to expect the ordinary though it usually comes.
Other than that, work is still work and it still has to be done, so I do. Working here is harder the the Rez for various reasons even though the Rez had its challenges too.
Well I think that's all for now.
Love
Elder Brady Parkin

Missionary Work is work anywhere you go . There are different challenges that will come at each place. The humble and pure in heart allow the spirit into their lives.

#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?

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 ...
