Hey Everybody!
Everything is going great for me here in Saratoga Springs/ Eagle Mountain. First order of business is that Elder Campos and I have a new companion, Elder Whitsitt. We are a trio for now, and I am assigned as the trainer for Elder Whitsitt. He is from Michigan but has lived in Pleasant Grove for 3 years and is waiting for his visa to go to the Buenos Aires North Mission. He is pretty funny and we have been having fun together. He already is pretty good at Spanish because his mom is from Mexico and his step dad is from Puerto Rico, but he still has some things to learn about the language and about teaching (like any new missionary).
Next is that we had the baptism of Andrea. It was the best baptism I have ever been to, mostly because of the amazing change that I have seen in her life. She is always so much more happy now. She even bore her testimony in her baptism. I gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and Elder Campos confirmed her on Sunday.
On Monday we had a fun Zone Activity where we played basketball, which was pretty fun - I was really grateful for the exercise. Today we are doing it again but this time playing dodgeball because there are some Elders that aren't too fond of basketball, so we want to do something to involve everybody.
It is so awesome to be doing missionary work! Feeling the Spirit is the most fulfilling thing in the world and there are so many ways that we can do good things that bring the Spirit into our lives. I encourage every one of you to look for those small things that you can do to get closer to Jesus Christ and feel the Spirit.
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Getts
