Dear Everybody!
Well, my long sojourn in Saratoga Springs is coming to a close. This Wednesday I am going to be transferred to the Provo West Spanish area - west of the freeway, by Utah lake. My companion will be Elder Ramirez. I don't know much about him, just that he is from Jalisco, Mexico. I am a bit sad to leave all of the amazing people here in Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain. I have come to love this area and the people here so much! It is amazing how much love that Christ can give you toward others, and it just comes from serving them. There are two people who want me to baptize them, so hopefully I will be back a couple times during the next transfer. I am excited to get to a new area and build it up again, to find those who are looking for the truth and help them to change their lives, make covenants and endure in the path of Christ. I know that that is how they will find true and eternal happiness. Without any doubt.
This week was pretty good. Carmen moved out from living with her boyfriend, so in two weeks she will be ready to be baptized, but she is waiting until June 16th to be baptized because her brother will have ended his mission in Idaho on the 14th. So I should be back to baptize her that day. It will be the best birthday present ever! We also had an opportunity to lay some sod again, which was fun. It only took us about half an hour this time because the yard was tiny and there were a bunch of people. Hopefully the family will remember the service that we did, because new Elders are coming to the area so we are giving up the English stake.
Well, I hope everyone will have a great week and that they will do whatever they can to be more like Christ and to show compassion to others!
Love,
Elder Getts
