Week 3 in Sarasota

We saw some amazing miracles this

week! I took over the area on Friday and had Elder Rees come up here

and had Elder Menlove go with the Spanish missionaries in Beneva.

Elder Rees had severed in Beneva for a year so he knew tons of people

we passed by. Beneva covers the same area as Sarasota. One amazing

miracle this week happened at the YSA Ward sacrament meeting. There

was a young man named Chris who showed up by himself. Turns out he's a

non member who moved several years ago from New Hampshire. His best

friend up there is going to BYUi and is preparing for a mission. He

visited his friend and went to a fast and testimony meeting at BYUI.

He said he had never felt the spirit more strongly. Now he plans on

going there this April and has a desire to start learning more. He's

super, super prepared. We are planning on meeting with him tonight!

He's our age too which is crazy. He's had many things in his life

preparing him for the gospel. I'm sure his friend has been setting an

amazing example for him. I love all the people we meet who have been

so prepared for the gospel!! Lots of things have been happening and

I've been loving all of it!! Love this chance I have to serve!! Hope

the trip today goes well!! We are fishing at our ward mission leaders

today. He has a private beach off of the gulf. It should be good! I

will send pictures if I get a chance today.

There were signs that said don't feed the Alligators.

Love you!!!
