So this week was kind of a lull... We had a lot of cancellations and people that just were not there when we showed up. But Wednesday was kind of a good day! Our Wednesday's are our service days, so most of the day is just service. We helped out at the local food pantry and I saw some people that would kind of take advantage of the system, but, for the most part, people were genuinely struggling and the look of gratitude that was on their faces just from us helping them with food was amazing and I teared up a couple of times. Then we helped a less active member move some stuff out of her yard because she was moving.... Followed by helping out at a soup kitchen....
Thursday was a lull day again, but Friday got interesting. Elder Scott had District Leader Training and so I was dragged to that, but I just went on splits with Elder Watson because his trainer is a DL too. We decided to go to the Stake Center 11 miles away in Roseburg and ended up getting lost and drove around Roseburg for about an hour. So needless to say, we aren't ready to navigate Oregon yet! Then I actually went on splits with the Zone Leaders and I actually helped put one of their investigators on date for baptism!!
On Saturday, I was still on splits and we got up early and went, as a Zone, to help put together Winter Survival kits for veterans. Then we had a few more lessons and I was returned to Elder Scott. I felt a lot more at home on Sunday. I knew names and was able to answer questions that were asked! lol.
So all in all, I'd give my week a 7. So please keep me in your prayers to have the best week I can possibly have. I love you guys and am very grateful for your support. Have an awesome week!!
Elder Parker Fleming
