Elder Parkman Reflection

749 Words3 Pages

Well President Passey, it has been a good week. I have noticed that with a companionship again, rather than a trio, there are a few changes. It is interesting to see how the buffer of a third comp changes the dynamic between the individual members of the trio as well. Elder Parkman and I have gotten to know each others teaching styles and favorite scriptures, concerns about the area, and personal weaknesses and strengths much better in the last few days. I love it, I feel like he has a ton of experience and knowledge I can benefit from. As long as I don 't get prideful when he shares :) I think we will continue to improve a lot this next week! I have gained insights from him and Elder Vaughan as well on how I can improve my teaching, and we set goals and so far have been following our plans to help us progress. I feel so grateful to have had 2 companions who are so …show more content…

Elder Parkman and I have spoken a lot about the importance of love and enthusiasm when teaching. I realized that what I had been speaking to you about is simply my case of "losing your new missionary fire." Now that I have finally identified the problem I am on my road to fixing it! I was concerned because I simply wasn 't as cheerful about the work, I worried I was struggling to love the people. I think I understand myself a little better now, I have increased in love and testimony, I just haven 't been energetic and excited like before. This is a choice I didn 't know I was making, and now I can choose the other way :D It has been a great week, I know if i choose to be excited and teach with enthusiasm and love, I will become more like that again and more effectively communicate the Spirit I feel to others. Also, I love that DM this week is about companionship study, we have made companionship study goals recently and have been doing well. I am excited to receive, or at least remember, further

    Reflection” In my reading of this assignment Morehouse College was established from a Baptist Church in the early 1800-1900’s. If understanding correctly, it came about for freed black men that had been degraded all their lives. Lacking education, also being stereotyped the black man really didn’t have much but their spiritual life that was done in secret. Seeing others before them go through this, I wondered how one could stand in that era?

I once heard some of the best friendships you will ever have will be made in nursing school and I can definitely see that already with a few. I am sure by graduation day we will all be crying tears of joy and sadness since we did it but will no longer be together. This quarter has been a rollercoaster of emotions, mostly good, and I look forward to what next quarter brings.

    The sermon begins with an introduction to the story of Peter Healing a Lame Beggar and emphasizes on Acts 3:1-8. Bishop Jakes discusses that the man in the story was only expecting to receive something, no matter what it was, as long as it was something. He then goes into how people are afraid of disappointment, how to have the courage to raise your expectations, and how to break your patterns. He describes how the environment you are in can affect your success and how it’s beneficial to surround yourself with others who are better and who have different things than you do. To be able to want better and receive better, you have to surround yourself with better.

    Regarding the impact that others in a meeting have on his decision making process, it is given to understand that he desires to know the heart and the motives behind the individual speaking before moving forward with any suggestions made. His concerns regarding this issue are that motives may be proliferated by traditionalists, resistant to change or by those seeking vain-glory, taking on many forms. In matters of job security, this pastor remains open to serve the Lord where He wants him to serve. As he said, “At the end of the day, God has not called us to be employed, but to be faithful.” Ultimately, this pastor in many ways still seeks to attain “a balanced view on all issues,” desiring to make educated decisions.

  • Temple Grandin Reflection

    761 Words  | 4 Pages

    I have watched a lot of inspiring movies and I would say that Temple Grandin is the most striking. This movie revolves around a woman named, Temple Grandin, who became successful despite having limitations due to her autism. She graduated as college valedictorian and she also completed her Ph.D. Furthermore, the movie also shows the importance of moral support and understanding to the persons with autism for their consolation and feeling of relief. I commend the movie for effectively showing how a person with autism or disability like Temple Grandin could overcome her limitations and eventually become successful. The movie clearly emphasized that the support, help, understanding, respect and acceptance of people are some of the vital factors that influence the persons with autism to be optimistic in order to have a positive outlook in life.

    Monuments Men is a fairly recent film with the premise of a group of soldiers during World War II tasked with protecting the artwork within the continental Europe from those who want to take it. It primarily centers on the story of Frank Stokes, played by George Clooney, and how he is able to assemble a ragtag group of “soldiers” and actually enter the frontlines. Over the course of the story, the group loses a few members, but do manage to discover the stashes of art hidden by Hitler and save it from destruction, including the Ghent Altarpiece and the Lady Madonna. Despite having already watched this movie, is still struck me how much the movie’s message still resonated with me. The movie makes a clear case for the value of art, and I feel
