Exchanges in Buffalo with Sister Thorley (on the far left)! |
Wow everyone, time is flying by too fast and this is my last full week as a missionary! But it has honestly been one of the best weeks of my mission.

Week 78- Palmyra & A Pool Party
I've come full circle--I got to go back to where I began. |
It has been quite the week! It started with a giant service project--the first one we have been able to have since quarantine! We are painting the structures around a community pool in this cute little town called East Aurora, and we are doing it with some other Sisters in Buffalo (which is super rare for our mission) so it's been so fun. We have done 3 days worth so far! And will be doing more starting tomorrow.

Week 77- Niagara Falls!
I'll have to make it quick today because we just got back from Niagara Falls! We got switched to the Niagara Falls district which we definitely aren't complaining about because that means we got to go there for district p-day! It was absolutely gorgeous--especially with the fall leaves. It was a great grand finale for my final month here!
We had some really good lessons this week. We had a lesson with Carmen and her girls setting expectations and they really are so eager to learn and read the Book of Mormon! We also had a really powerful lesson with our friend Stephanie last week where we all bore our testimonies. Her daughter was there too! And they were both very touched.

Week 75- the Lone Ranger
It was 17 months on the 17th of September! |
Well folks, the 13th transfer has begun and my mission president has named me the Lone Ranger. What does that mean you may ask? Well you see, my MTC district was the last group to come into the NY Rochester mission (my original call); therefore we were the last group of Sisters to be called to serve at both the Sites and in the NY Syracuse mission (since our missions merged). And since the rest of my MTC district went home this week, I am the last Sister left in the NY Syracuse mission who served at the historic sites. I feel so old! Haha. But I am excited that I have a few more weeks to serve.

Week 74- the Last transfer call....
Well folks, this is the week! I am entering my very last transfer, my 13th, as a missionary. So bittersweet! We weren't expecting transfer calls until tomorrow but we got them today! Sister Jenks is moving to Syracuse, but Sister Lifferth and I are staying in Lancaster and being joined by Sister Randall! We don't know anything about her but we are excited.

Week 73- September, Stress, and Sacrifice
Well, I'm afraid there won't be too much of an email this week seeing as I've been sitting here for 10 minutes just trying to think of something to talk about, haha.

Week 72- Father's Blessings
Hello friends! I was going to title this 'The week where nothing happened' but changed my mind haha. We had two in-person lessons with a friend, Stephanie, who lives in a cute little town called Akron, NY. If any of you have watched Gilmore Girls it looks like Stars Hollow! lt felt really good to get out and see some people and it's just what our friend needs too.

Week 71- Baptism!
This was such a good week. We ran into some snags that scared us a little bit earlier in the week but we were able to get everything sorted out, and Jane was baptized on Saturday. The spirit was so strong and she was so happy. It was a little weird with social distancing and masks and only 10 people there, but the most important thing is that she was making a covenant with God and was so excited to do so. A little about Jane--she is a feisty, sweet 80 year old lady who has been a student of the Bible and searching for the truth for 60 years now. And she finally found it! She had a lot of things to overcome but she did it and couldn't be happier. I love Jane!
Have a great week!
Love, Sister Potts
