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.
We had district p-day today and played yard games at a park so I don't have much time--I'm sorry! But nothing much happened except we've been able to have a couple in-person lessons with our friend Carmen and her two daughters. They are so sweet and excited to learn.
We have been studying the Character of Christ this week as a mission. One thing that stood out is that Christ always turned outwards in every situation, when almost anyone else would have turned inwards. Even in the midst of the agony on Golgotha he turned to John and asked him to take care of his mother. That is who we want to be! I want to learn to be more selfless and really focus on serving and helping others. And I have found on my mission that those are the times I feel the most joy. We won't be perfect, but we can always strive to improve!
Have a wonderful week :)
Love, Sister Potts
