After breakfast, we helped with the church's food pantry. We moved some canned goods to the front room of the pantry, filled orders, and cleaned. We met some really great people.
Toward the end of working at the food pantry, Charlie, one of the church members asked us to rake and freshen up some of the bark by the church sign. It was so great to go outside! It was a little overcast, but the temperature was about 60. It is amazing how green it is over here already!
Around lunch time, Jerry, another church member asked if wanted some pizza for lunch. We were planning on eating some left over lasagna from a youth night the church had a few days ago. He told us he just has a feeling he should ask us if we wanted pizza. So he did.
This guy has an amazing story. He used to be in Springfield, OR. He was homeless. He felt like God was leading him to Salem. When he got here, he started coming to West Gate church. Recently, someone gave him a pickup and fifth wheel camper. So he has a home!
After lunch, we went to a gal's house across the street from the church. We helped her weed her garden. It was great to be able to help her out. She had a stint put in a few weeks ago and is still recovering.
We got to the YMCA before it closed, so we were all able to shower! For supper we had tacos...yum!
Jesus was really good to us today. We had a lot of fun being able to work outside in the nice weather!
