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.

#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 ...
