Another week has flown by!! I'm still loving it here and my district is so awesome! We have had some great devotionals! The MTC president and his wife, the Martinos, spoke and I loved their talks. They talked about the story of Peter, his faith to walk on water with Jesus Christ. When he kept his eyes and attention on Jesus he stayed above the water, but the second he got distracted by the wind and waves, he began to sink. They related that to us missionaries and if we stay focused on the work, we will be blessed and have the Spirit and the power of Heavenly Father with us. It can also relate to people in their everyday lives! If you keep your focus on the gospel, and make it a priority in your life, you will stay afloat. But if you look away and get distracted by the worldly things, you will start to sink! But Jesus was there to save Peter when he was sinking and He is there for all of us too! That is the reason for the Atonement of Jesus Christ! You are never to far in the water to be picked up! To be lifted up!
BUT CONFERENCE IS THIS WEEKEND!!! I'm so excited for it! There is a rumor going around the MTC saying that President Nelson is dropping some big news regarding missionaries and I cannot wait to see what's in store for all of us.
Like I said, I am loving it here at the MTC, but the food is a struggle, LOL. It gets really old REALLY fast and a lot of it does not sit well inside my stomach. I'm counting down the days till we get out of here and go to TONGA! My friend, Jase Anderson, is there serving and we've been emailing. It's getting me so excited! The language is coming but really slowly... It is a simple language but the vocabulary is so hard and I'm struggling with that. I can't wait for the day where I can have a full conversation with people!
I am loving it here and shout out to my mom and family for sending me packages! My district and I love them. All the food! Here's some pictures of my week.
And watch out for Elder Pulu, Elder Makaafi, Elder Lake, and Elder Vaughn. They're singing at conference!! They're from my district.
Ofas,
Elder Norman
