Thank you for sharing Megan! We are excited to get to know you a little better.
HI! I’m Megan Potter and I’m from Washington State. I was born in Seattle, but we moved to Spokane when I was about 10, so I claim Spokane and my parents still live there and I would love to settle anywhere in Washington to be close to family. I have a combined family with 2 brothers, 4 step-brothers, 1 sister, 1 step-dad and of course my mom. I love my step-family!! I went to BYU-Idaho in ‘02-‘07 and got my degree in Social Work which I love! I served a mission in Spain, Bilbao in ‘05-’06 and loved it, and I love Spanish. I hope to go back someday! That’s how I met my hubby (sortof!). His sister was my favorite mission companion! She is also from Washington (central) so we planned a double date with our brothers when we all got home from our missions. He was serving in Uruguay at the same time as I was in Spain. My brother was serving in Russia. My husband Robert and I met about 9 months after we got home from our missions (double date with our siblings), and that was it, the rest is history! (our siblings didn’t end up working out-everyone always asks about that part so I had to mention it). Robert and I have been married for 6 years and have 2 boys, Brady (5) and Catcher (2). It is SO fun having my mission companion as my sister in law! She is my best friend☺
My husband is in the Optometry program at Midwestern (3rd year). I have taken a temporary leave from Social work to be a Stay-at-home-mom. Since we moved to AZ I was determined to lose my baby weight, I became a Beachbody Coach, reached my goal, and now work a couple hours a day from home helping others to get healthy. Health and helping others is my passion!
If I had an hour of free time I would probably be sitting on the couch resting (or on the internet, let’s be honest)! OR I would be working, quilting, reading, baking, or visiting friends.
I’ve had countless experiences that have strengthened my testimony including seminary, girls camp, testimony meetings, Relief society, my mission, general conference, and attending the temple. Every hard experience in my life has strengthened my testimony that God loves us, cares for us, and has a plan for us. The gospel is important to me because it gives me hope! Hope of family for eternity and hope of forgiveness. Hope of ultimate truth and knowledge, and eternal life and happiness.

Scriptures –These scriptures are on my missionary plaque. I love them both because they talk about the essence of this life and of the gospel: JOY!!
2 Nephi 2:25 Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.
and 1 Nephi 8:12 And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with exceedingly great joy; wherefore, I began to be desirous that my family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was desirable above all other fruit.
and 1 Nephi 8:12 And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with exceedingly great joy; wherefore, I began to be desirous that my family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was desirable above all other fruit.
Hymn – Joseph Smith’s first prayer (P.S. This is way hard to choose!)
Can’t wait to get to know you all!! I know our paths cross for a reason!
