Hello Everybody!
 
Elder Getts is doing great here in Provo. I love serving here and it has been amazing to see the hand of the Lord. This week we had some great experiences and I have been loving my scripture study! It just seems to make me hunger more and more to know Heavenly Father and Jesus better through the scriptures and the teachings of the Holy Ghost. This week we talked with a man named Wilbur who left to go back to Mexico on Sunday. He is 39 and has a wife and two daughters in Veracruz, Mexico. He told us that he was looking for the way to guide his daughters toward God and had a ton of doubts but was sincere in wanting to understand. We tried to answer his questions and were bold in declaring the truths of the restored gospel. We made sure to stress the importance of the Book of Mormon and establishing a foundation first before all of his questions could be answered. Elder Espinoza finished by sharing Alma 37:6 with him about small and simple things, and that really impacted him. We shared our testimonies and left full of the Spirit. We probably won't ever see him again in this life, but it was an amazing experience. A returned missionary called us yesterday with a referral about a girl named Nilcer. So we met with them in his apartment. She is from Honduras, and has heard about the church from friends there. She really wants to learn about it and has loved going to church the past couple of weeks. She seems very prepared to hear the gospel message.  We have been having great experiences as a companionship here.
 
I hope everyone has an awesome week and that each of you ACT and DO something to further the work of the Lord among your friends and family who have not received the Gospel yet!
 
Love,
Elder Getts
