di sini senang, di sana senang, di mana mana hatiku senang!

Apa khabar! Isn't that the sickest song? I'll sing it for you all someday. It just means I'm happy wherever I am basically.

This morning Sister Jensen walked into a wall. While I was laughing and mocking her, I walked into a door. Evenly matched companionship.

I can't even really remember what happened this week very well, the days are all blurring together. And I get my flight plans in less than a week! 18 days left here! If you're going to write me, you might as well do it now because we all know it probably won't happen once I'm in Malaysia ;)

We taught in Malay at the TRC for the first time last week! All of lesson one! It was sick! A little bit more frustrating than English...but I know it's coming along.

Sister Jensen suggested that I start keeping track of my daily "miracles" this week, and it's been incredible to just pay closer attention to how much my Father in Heaven cares about me. The first tender mercy was on Sunday night. It was an awesome day as far as learning goes (and I had been worrying about how I can get people to understand the importance of this message...of course everything was pointing to D&C 84:88 that day. I just need to teach, they'll know because God will go before me.), but my Malay was hitting a brick wall and I just wanted to hug someone and cry pretty much. When I walked into the fireside that night, I saw these familiar blue and yellow striped ties and then the Men's Chorus badge on a bunch of jackets. BYU Men's Chorus did the whole fireside and I swear everything that was said and sung was just for me. And then....I got to see Ricki!!!!!! It was just what I needed.

Then I was thinking about a friend of mine from China and how in the world I could get her address here in the U.S. so I could write her. I prayed about it and literally the next day got a letter from Abby talking about her and how she thinks we should write. Same wave length here, baby! The Spirit is so cool. Thanks for paying attention to it, Abs.

On Tuesday, Elder Rasband came and spoke to us and just tied everything together for me. It was on the Spirit, surprise surprise. I must have a really thick head because it's taken me till now to realize that pretty much everyone speaks on the Holy Ghost. Maybe it's like an important subject. It was great. And then he testified that we are divinely appointed to our missions. I meet sisters going to Taiwan and Hong Kong and all that all the time here and there's not a bit of jealousy anymore. I'm going to go chum with the Malays and Ibans! Those are my people and I have a work to do there. With all these miracles and tender mercies, whatever you want to call them, it helped me realize that if Malaysia is where God needs me to be, I've got a lot more coming my way. Here in the MTC, it's like I'm in a play pen ya know? Like for a toddler, yes I am using this comparison. His ultimate care and protection isn't needed that much yet. (Ignore that I just stated children don't need care when they're in a play pen. I will be a good mom, I promise.) I'm stoked.

Ohhh here's something funny. I rolled my other ankle yesterday. Just find me a Hercules already (for after the mission of course). It wasn't really my ankle though, it was the same spot that I sprained my foot on the acorn last fall. I felt super smart. I iced it though and it's fine. No set backs just a little swelling.

I want you to know that Jacob Watson is in my prayers and I'll be fasting for him this Sunday. It's been amazing to hear about the ward pulling together to support the Watsons at this time. I know that the priesthood is the authority and power from God and that their family will make it through this time with its blessings. Let them know how much I love them! And I love you all too!

Dengan kasih,

Sister Norton
