Letters From Grandma H.

We have been cleaning up and re-arranging the house some and I came across letters from my mission.  I wrote letters to Grandma H. frequently from when I was little and this continued as I was a missionary.  These appear to be from June - December 2000; the first six months of my mission.

I have more to scan when I get some time.

Update (as in Here's what happened previously)

It has been a long time since I have updated, so here's what has happened since I last wrote.

  • GoFundMe - Only one person was generous enough to donate to my Go Fund Me campaign to get money for flight school.  I have stopped accepting donations, but I may attempt it again to raise money for my commercial and instrument ratings.  This means that it will take a little longer to get my ratings completed as I have to find financing and other financial aid.  To the lone contributor: THANK YOU!
  • Flight Training - I haven't been flying in a while, but I have connected with a different flight instructor and will be completing my private license with him.  I still have to travel nearly 2 hours to meet with him, but it will be worth it.
  • School - I am progressing with school.  I am taking 6 credit hours per semester, which is kind of slow, but it is what my schedule allows me to handle with out being stressed out.  I am working on the upper level classes and there is a lot of research and writing involved.
Things have been busy in my life but slow related to my flying.  My goal is to have my private license completed before the end of March.  I don't think that I will have any problems with accomplishing this.  After I have my private license I plan on sending letters to various aviation companies and operators to attempt to get a job in the aviation industry.  Hopefully being able to get flight training from that operator and begin flying commercially.
