And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
And he will take upon him death that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

Alma 7:11-12

Another Great Week!

Dear Family and Friends,

I am really excited this week for a lot of reasons. I am really happy that my brother Jace is heading out on his mission. I am so proud of you Jace for this decision. I know that you are going to be a great missionary. Good luck and do your best out there!!! I am also excited because we just started teaching a lady named Karin. She has been coming to church the last two Sundays with her grandmother and with her four daughters. We taught Karin and her oldest daughter, McKayla, who turns 8 this August, last Wednesday and they both want to be baptized.

We have been keeping very busy here and I am really looking forward to the next couple of weeks. I got to do a baptismal interview this week and it was very special to me. I felt the Spirit so strongly during that time. I am so thankful for all of the blessings I have been given and for everyone's support back home. I can't wait for next week to come so I can write you all about it. Thanks again for everything.

Love,
Elder Norton
