Things got warmer this week! We had rain and it melted the foot of snow we had. We also got to drive down & back to Syracuse for MLC which is a 3-hour drive each way!

| MLC this week. Disciple-like leadership--continuing to master the doctrine in the scriptures. (Sister Wiese who is sitting next to Emily was just transferred out of Massena, and Sister Penrod, who is sitting across from Emily got to stay with Emily for another transfer. |
Our friend Jay is still doing great. We finished teaching the Plan of Salvation to him, and he's still reading the Book of Mormon really well! It has been so cool seeing the change that has taken place in him in the last three weeks. When we first met him he was depressed, so stressed he couldn't sleep, and being evicted. Now he is happier, he just got a job offer, he was cleaning his apartment last time we went over, and he is sleeping better! He attributes it to the Book of Mormon, learning about Jesus Christ, and coming to church. We are really excited for him! I know that by following the plan that our heavenly father has set for us we can find the most joy and peace possible both in this life and the next. I also know that reading the Book of Mormon can change our lives as we feel the spirit, learn of Christ, and get answers to our questions as we read. READ IT EVERY DAY!!!
LOVE, Sister Potts
FUN FACTS:
1. The first step in embossing the title on the back of the Book of Mormon is painting a black substance called glare on the back in a rectangle.
2. Glare is a substance like shellac that is basically a mixture of ink and glue.
3. Next, they lay a piece of real gold leaf down on the glare.
4. And then take hot embossing dyes with an individual letter that has been heating up over coals and hand press each letter of the title BOOK OF MORMON into the spine.
5. Wipe off the extra gold leaf and voila! The book is ready for selling!
