Dwight & Susan Potter: "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go"

Dwight and Susan Potter share a powerful testimony of their senior missionary service in the North Carolina Raleigh Mission, where they were unexpectedly called to serve in Mount Olive Ward—near the place Dwight grew up—instead of their anticipated assignment to Ghana. What began as a routine mission quickly transformed into a remarkable spiritual movement as Haitian immigrants, many of whom had recently arrived in the U.S. and spoke only Haitian Creole, began seeking the gospel. Dwight’s fluency in French from his earlier mission in Belgium became a divine tool, enabling him to teach and translate for the growing Haitian congregation. Despite Susan’s language barrier, her warmth, love, and presence created deep spiritual connections. The couple witnessed a series of miracles: miraculous healings, sudden job placements, priesthood blessings that unlocked language abilities, and entire families embracing the gospel. These experiences affirmed their belief in God’s personal awareness and care for individuals and nations alike. Their story illustrates how senior missionaries bring unique life experience, emotional maturity, and spiritual depth that young missionaries cannot replicate. The episode closes with a profound reflection on what it means to be 'all in'—a commitment to go wherever the Lord leads, motivated by pure love for God and neighbor.
