January 20th

Monday evening we were invited to the Winebrenner's home in Pittsford for dinner and games. The Harmons, Sister Harmon is on the left, Bro. Harmon took the picture, Brother & Sister Winebrenners, Paul and I, and Sister and President Siebach. The Winebrenners have a lovely home built in the 1830's. They both grew up in the Pittsford area and are converts to the Church. They served in the Palmyra Temple Presidency when the temple opened in 2000.

Wednesday evening we attended the Site Missionary meeting and heard the Potters give their life sketch. Elder and Sister Potter are the Directors of the Sites and are going home this week. They spent most of their lives in Washington, D.C. but have since moved to Park City close to their children. They have served as Mission President of Toronto Canada Mission and in the Washington, D.C. Temple presidency and here in Palmyra. Sister Potter was one of our walking partners.

Friday evening at the temple we had full sessions. It was so fun to have so many people in the temple. Saturday was also a great day. We were there from 8-5. I was able to help with a sister receiving her own endowments and having a baby sealed to them. What fun. Sunday we attended the Palmyra Ward where Paul stood in the circle for the confirmation of Sister Amy Dalykas who he baptized last Sunday. We then left and went to the Fayette Ward, Peter Whitmer Farm, for Sacrament meeting. Elder and Sister Beal were speaking. They are going home this Thursday to Hyrum, UT and then there was a baptism of a young man. The Sister Missionaries invited us out for that. Brother and Sister Rotz invited us to Sunday dinner and we had a lovely visit with them. Their home was also built in the 1830's. It's a beautiful home. They are our coordinators in the temple on Thursday nights.

Our thought for the week: "A kindness put off til tomorrow becomes a bitter regret."
