Dear Family and Friends (and maybe people I don't know),
Yes, it is true. I am a McEmployee. Working at McDonald's is not so bad. I thought it would be a good experience. I am a person that has to be completely sure of how to do something before I will do it. I guess I scared of failure. I think God is using this job to push me out of my comfort zone. The first day was a bit different. The person I was assigned to learn from didn't really teach me that much. So it was mostly me guessing and then someone telling me I was wrong. This is not really how I am used to learning. I usually learn by reading about something and then doing it. I'm not really a trial and error type of person, but I guess sometimes you have to learn to adapt.
Also I think God is trying to humble me. Everybody I work with has more knowledge about the workings of a McDonald's than I do. I doesn't matter much how clever you are, if you don't know it, then you don't know it. So, I am learning that I need to be humble. Just because I have taken Calculus 3 and can do 3D Calculus and parametric equations, it doesn't mean I know something as simple as how to fry up some more frech fries. It is dumb for me to think that I am "smarter" than anybody. It's almost ridiculous to think I had that thought.

I just want to throw some prayer requests out there.

The ministry here-
There have been some really cool opportunities to talk with people lately
Direction in my life-
I'm still not sure what direction I am heading career wise and life wise
The church here-
The Manti Pageant time drains the Ex-Mormons in the church.
