Danette applied to be a missionary with the organization that the article was about, and she was accepted. She was assigned to serve in the village of Norman, Alaska, a small community located on the Yukon River. Norman is home to about 200 people, and the majority of the residents are Alaska Natives.

Danette arrived in Norman in the fall of 2010. She was immediately struck by the beauty of the village and the friendliness of the people. However, she also quickly realized that life in Norman was very different from life in the United States. The village has no running water or electricity, and the winters are long and cold.

Despite the challenges, Danette quickly fell in love with Norman. She began working with the local church, and she also started teaching English classes at the village school. Danette also spent a lot of time getting to know the people of Norman, and she learned a great deal about their culture and traditions.

One of the most rewarding experiences for Danette was working with the children of Norman. She started a children's club, and she would often lead them in games, songs, and Bible stories. Danette also helped to organize a summer camp for the children, and she loved seeing them learn and grow.

Danette's time in Norman was not without its challenges. She had to adjust to living in a remote village with no running water or electricity. She also had to learn a new culture and language. However, Danette never gave up. She relied on her faith in God to help her through the difficult times.

After three years in Norman, Danette returned to the United States. She is now working as a missionary in her hometown. She is using her experiences in Norman to help others learn about the importance of missions.

Danette's story is an inspiring example of how one person can make a difference in the world. She is a true missionary, and she is dedicated to serving others.
