The Past Two Weeks

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

This past week for me has been really good. We had two baptisms. The first was B B. She was golden when I met her and in only six weeks of taking the lessons, she is baptized. The other is E S. He is a 14 Navajo boy who is way excited about the church. What's interesting is the fact that I am serving on another reservation. It is the Maricopa Indian Reservation. So I have now worked on my mission with the Navajo, the Pima, and the Maricopa along with working closely with the Hopi and the Apache. It's pretty cool.

Last week was pretty slow but this week we have three baptisms. The H kids (even though their last names aren't H). It should be a good service. B's daughter is now going to start taking the lessons and maybe even their neighbor. Now converts are always such good missionaries. Did you get to see any of conference? If not, or even if so, check out Jeffery R. Holland. That was intense. That was by far my favorite. Him and Elder Oaks are my favorites and they both did very well.

He didn't get transfered that I know of. I think that it is just in the area he is serving in.

#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 ...
