Week 34- Sick and Sunshine

Hello everyone! It's been an interesting week.  I got the stomach flu on Friday so I was out of commission for the day but I'm up and working again! 

We've had some funny interactions with people this week.  There was a door we knocked on and a girl named Sunshine answered and let us show a short Light the World video.  Then afterwards, without even acknowledging the video, she asked,  "do you two want an apple or something?" We were like...... sure?  So she came back with apples and a drink for us and said how she was in girl scouts and she knows how hard going door to door was.  Haha! Then she was like, bye! And shut the door. It was pretty funny. 

Some days it's hard to know whether we're coming or going!

We've been teaching LOTS of lessons, and probably 80% are Light the World! I've watched the Christ Child video so many times, and it's so good! It's helped me really appreciate and think about where we would be without that miraculous event of Christ's birth. We would be so lost! I encourage everyone to take a moment this season to reflect on that. 

I hope everyone has a great start to the season!

Love, Sister Potts 

FUN FACTS:  Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration (video): Fact or Fiction?

1.  If you notice, when Joseph is reading the scriptures, his mom is at the table painting. She was known for her oil cloth paintings! FACT

2.  After Alvin's death it shows him several times at the cemetery.  Yeahhhh it doesn't look like that and it's on a hill so you can't see people walking by. FICTION

3.  During the first vision it looks all beautiful and green. FICTION It doesn't turn green until June Haha. 

4.  Did you notice them doing some wood working? They were making barrels! They were very talented coopers. FACT

5.  My personal favorite scene when Joseph and Emma are courting? FICTION. Yeah..... they could only court in her parlor and at social events. But I'm still glad they included it.
