Committed

Things have been crazy still. On Monday was K.K.'s baptism. It was awesome. The Relief Society room was all the way back to standing room only. That's a good thing though. It was such a spirit filled service.
Last week was interviews with President Beck. In my interview, I committed myself to getting 3 new investigators each week. President Beck looked a little suprised but I knoew that I could do it (our area averages less then 1 per week.) On Friday, I got some help. I went on exchanges with Elder Crampton and he taught me by example, to "teach when you find>" He is so good at door approaches. So this week I have implemented some of his "teachings" and we already have 1 new investigator with a possibility of 3 more today and tomorrow.
Sorry it's a short letter but it is not P-day. Gotta get to work.

Love
Elder Brady Parkin

PS Transfers on the 25th. Cross your fingers.

In an email from Elder Parkin we found out that he is going to be transferred. He did not know where he was going but he knew that he was leaving. I know that he will keep going with this new commitment.

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.

"King of Scars"

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

Reading List

So i made a list of things that i want to do before my mission and one of the things was to read a lot of books. At first i made a huge list that had about 37 large books on it but i knew that i wouldn't be able to do that so i had to update it. It is now down to about 20 but i am still skeptical on completing the list. I really want to read good books and i don't know if i am going to like all of the books on my list or not and i don't want to waste time. So . . . if anyone recommends any books for me to read before i leave, please let me know in the comments and also tell my why i should read it. i am looking forward to seeing your recommendations and reading the books that y'all like.
