1.26.07

Today was chill. Hockey game right after class.

It was cool to learn about how that we sometimes encode our communication to be received to intended receivers. In daily communication, we talk differently to different people. We talk differently to President Clark in contrast with our buddies. I see myself doing this a lot.

Also Bro. Adams shared with us 4 different things:

Uncounscious Competence
Conscious Competence
Conscious Incompetence
Unconscious Incompetence

Tight stuff.

In the mission I have used empathetic listening a lot so I attempt to hear their worries and doubts so I can send them in the water. But since I have been home I just lost that art. Last night I had 2 dates (one in the afternoon, one in the evening). The joy of empathetic listening. I pretty much did that and the girls were talking my ears off! It's a good sign because I don't like to talk a lot and they trusted me with their personal stories.
