Week 4 in Sarasota

  Zone Conference!
The storms are back!

We went to several members houses for conference and had a huge miracle with a friend of a priest here that we had met, came to the priesthood session. We are having dinner with the priest's family and his friend. It was awesome because they were running late but walked in right when President Monson got up to speak. And that was crazy about Pocatello! Also very crazy that Utah is getting another temple! I had a chance to go on exchange with Elder Newbold this last week in Bradenton. He was in Tampa most of the time I was there so it was great getting to see him. This is his last transfer which is crazy! I'm grateful I have examples like him on where I want to be as a servant of the Lord. We had a Zone Conference and received some updates on some of our rules. We found out church policy is to not attend public or commercial gyms while we're serving so we are just sticking with the apartment gym now. We also received some clarification on emails, the general authorities only want us to send a single letter that way it's not as if we're on the telephone. It will keep us more focused. So I'll be sending this summary of the week from now on and then if I think of anything else I'll send an email specifically to you. But that would include not answering questions until next week. And in answer to one, I do not need anything right now haha. I'm so grateful this mission is moving forward to become more consecrated. It has been a huge blessing to me to see the change in myself and my fellow missionaries. I loved the talks in General Conference that talked about how we can embrace the Lord through service. I have seen so many examples of that since I've been out. I am loving this Zone and the chance I have to serve with Elder Menlove. I also loved the new videos the church sent out on Mormon.org. If you haven't seen them yet, watch them! They're amazing!! Lots of crazy miracles this week! I love this work! I can still see your responses today and during the week so I hope things are going great! Love you!! Have a great week!!
