We made perhaps our last trip to Homestead and Key West on Tuesday. At Key West, we did a gospel study, apartment inspection, took Elder Jensen and Elder Kelly (see photo in their little apartment) out to lunch and then headed back home. We were able to get out of the Keys before dark and that really helped. The weather was perfect and the scenery was spectacular. After arriving in Key West, our check engine light came on so on Wednesday Elder Black spend the morning at a tune up place. A coil they had installed just 3 weeks ago must have been defective. They replaced it at no charge. Thursday and Friday, Elder Black spent the day in the Mission Office helping out Elder Holdstock with automobile issues. On Saturday, we bought food and attended a combined Snapper Creek and Miami Beach YSA barbeque at a beach near the end of Key Biscayne Island (southeast) of Miami. There was a great turnout (see photo). Elder Hogge and Elder Black also got to go inside a light house near the beach (see photos).
There was another baptism at the YSA branch after church. The missionaries are also teaching quite a few YSA age investigators. Elder Black gave a talk in Sacrament meeting on "Inviting Others to Come Unto Christ". The emphasis of the talk was to encourage the YSA members to invite their family, friends, neighbors and associated to attend church on March 21st (which happens to be our wedding anniversary). This should be a wonderful opportunity to help people get acquainted with the church and to feel the Spirit in our meetings. A recent convert spoke at Sacrament meeting before Elder Black and he was so nervous, but did a great job. We are loving every minute our assignment in the Snapper Creek branch.
