He's in on Monday
I travelled to St. Vincent Depaul to complete my service learning requirement today and when I arrived I was told the coordinator was not there so I had to come back on Monday. Ive been searching all semester for volunteer opportunities and have encountered much difficulty. Ive completed well more than half of the required hours. However, I feel even more so now like like twelve disciples as they were sent out to proclaim God's message. becuase they continually encountered difficulty and I am discovering the same. However, I am consistent in my approach just as the disciples were. I feel possibly this is my connection to the spiritual values: consistency.

Aaron,
I completely know where you're coming from! For the longest time I tried getting ahold of Brooke from the Maria House because I had volunteered at the Hope House in the past and at a battered women's shelter in my hometown. I kept getting emails back saying "I'm out of the office, I'll be back in a week" or I would call there and get the answering machine. I think that your comparison to the Twelve Disciples is very fitting. I finally decided to go elsewhere to help, as you did!
Aaron,
I find it great that you do connect your experiences to those of the twelve disciples. It not only shows that you know what direction and path that you are on in your life, or just in general with the service learning, but you are also connecting your service learning experience back to the context of the class.
