Dear family and friends,
I hope that all of you are doing great and living good and happy lives.
I am still having a wonderful time here in Saratoga Springs, teaching, studying, working and even getting to play a bit of basketball with the district. We had a baptism of a nine-year-old girl, Ariana, on Saturday. I baptized her and then the bishop confirmed her in sacrament meeting on Sunday. It was a simple but spiritual baptism. Ariana was pretty excited about the whole thing, which was good to see. Hopefully she can also help her parents be stronger in the Gospel. We have another baptism planned for a guy named Ruben from Uruguay. He is 31 years old and got divorced a few months ago and when we found him he said he wanted to change. It has been awesome to teach him.
Elder Campos has his health back and we had another great week of teaching and work. We also played basketball twice which was pretty fun even though it would be nice if everyone in the district knew how to play basketball...
I keep learning more every day about my Savior and the principles of His Gospel, and that helps me to find peace and direction in my life as I put those principles into practice in my life. I know that anyone who will strive to obtain a testimony of Jesus Christ, especially through the Book of Mormon, will receive that testimony from God throught the Holy Ghost. And that testimony will serve as an anchor and a foundation that will lead to happiness and peace in this life and in the next.
Written with love,
Elder Getts
