We started the day with an early baptismal service in the University Park Ward. The baptism was a 8 am. It was scheduled for the early time because ward members were planning on cleaning the building starting at 9. The building is going to be "deep cleaned" in preparation for the Sarasota Stake Conference in two weeks. Elder Anderson of the Quorum of the Twelve will be the visiting authority. He is coming because there will be a change in the stake presidency.
A young woman was baptized who has been taught by Elders Bowden and Buckway. Her boyfriend came and mentioned to Renee that he was going to be the next baptism. The Elders had been teaching him, but then he stopped meeting with them. They were surprised that he came to the baptism.
We then drove to St. Petersburg to deliver 12 more gift bags to them. They have been upset that they don't have all of the gift bags, so we pieced together a few more for them. Additional materials have been ordered to complete all of the gift bag requests, but we won't receive them for another week or so.
We then drove back to Sarasota and met with Sister Missionaries to give a blessing. I think the Sisters are more comfortable asking me for a blessing rather than asking the Elders.
