Week 28 in Sarasota

 Sarasota Zone at zone conference

Yum, lunch!

Things have been busy, busy here. It's amazing that the storm

literally went around us so we missed the more destructive winds. What

a huge miracle. We have been serving most of the week as far as relief

effort goes. It's been humbling to see hearts softened. God really

does put these hard things in our lives to remind us he's there. We

have had several people who are less active or stopped investigating

text or call us to say they want to meet and come to church. It's been

a huge blessing. As far as service goes this past weekend we were

serving both Saturday and Sunday in the Hurricane Relief area. It was

some tough work but we were with members and got to make some strong

connections there. This week we will have more time to proselyte which

I am looking forward to. Today will be purchasing food and rest. Elder

Farr and I both got some really good sun burns this past weekend.

Anyways, I don't need much. If you didn't notice already I had to take

some cash out of my account for my 72 hour kit. Also the power had

gone out so a lot of our food was bad so I used my home card for that

too. But besides all that everything else is well. I look forward to

getting back into the groove of things. If you send food or something

like that I know I won't complain haha. If you do send anthing make

sure to do it before we have General Conference since transfers are

the first week of October. Crazy! Well love you and hope you have a

great week!!!
