WOW!
I am pretty sure that my companion and I were counting down the days so
that we would finally be able to watch it! It was absolutely amazing
and we are so excited that we get to watch it with so many of our
investigators and have them feel the spirit and Easter. CAN you believe
that it is almost Easter. I feel like it was just Easter and now it is
here again. Crazy how time flies. http://www.mormon.org/easter?
The following Sunday
was her confirmation and long behold the Bonhams came! WHAT! It was so
neat to see them walk into the ward that i was serving in. They will
sometimes go to confirmations to be present and it was so great that he
was able to be apart of her confirmation:) Then We had the opportunity
to speak to the youth all about missions. It was a fun little Q&A
and it allowed me to do a lot of reflecting on the past 16 months of my
life. I still am in awe with the fact that i am a missionary. There are
those moments where it hits me. I have really been able to strengthen
the testimony that i already had. I know that it was there before my
mission but i do know that i have changed. I love the trials and hard
times that i have had to go through because then i am able to really and
truly come to know my savior Jesus Christ and what he really did for
me. Also i have a better understanding of how the greatest gift that God
gave us was our agency, and the best gift that we can give him is our
agency in return. We do that through baptism. We truly need to me able
to align our will with his.
I do LOVE love love love
you all very much. I am so excited to be able to listen to conference
this upcoming week. How lucky we truly are to know that we have a
prophet on the earth who will not lead us astray!
I have also been able to really improve on my studies in the scriptures this
past week. I love love love them and i want to always improve, but i
notice the better my prayers are and my studies the better my whole day
goes!
okay. have a wonderful week!
Love Sister Norton
