Funny: We had a lesson at The Grow's house, they just barely moved into the ward from BYU Provo, and they have a little baby. They are awesome! They are so missionary minded. The week they moved in we had a lesson at their house! On their missions in Peru and Mexico. They played this game called cat and mouse, which involves tying and untying ties around your neck really fast, and it is a lot more fun than it sounds. They decided to make the lesson, a little family home evening thing, so there were delicious treats, and a game. It was one of the most fun lessons I have had! Also, spring is finally here! and we picked some flowers/weeds for our apartment! Spiritual: This week was an emotional one. I'm kind of an emotional person anyways, but this week a bit more than normal. We are preparing for Annie's baptism this weekend, and we are so excited for her! I feel so deeply connected to all the people we are teaching. I truly genuinely love them, and am so grateful I hav...

Funny: So, I have discovered I am terrible at taking pictures throughout the week so I attached a picture of a fluffy baby cow. Because it’s really cute, and I didn't take any pictures this week. Sorry that is all I got for funny this week, but we also had a lot of miracles, so hopefully that will make up for it! Spiritual: Okay so remember Bolaji? The Olympic Power lifter? Well we met with him again this week. We found out the reason he felt inspired to come to our church the day of stake conference, was because he had a dream of going into our church a few nights before. These were his words describing the dream "I walked into the church, and there were two friendly white woman who greeted me. They had the light of Christ about them, and they were servants of the Lord sent from God. I knew I should listen to their message. When I came into church, I recognized you two from my dream."  We told him that God sent him that dream because Christ's gospel has been re...

Funny: So, this week we went and taught BJ (who I mentioned last week) about Christ's restored gospel. He was so excited to learn more, and was very receptive to the message. As we were getting to know him better, we asked what brought him to Fargo. He told us that he came to America to represent his country in the Olympics, he is a power lifter! He showed us a picture of himself where he looked HUGE and he was shaking some British royalty's hand. He is so excited to learn more and read more from the Book of Mormon! Spiritual:  I came to understand something more deeply about Christ's atonement recently that I would like to share. At the end of every day I ask myself, “Did I do my best did I work my hardest?” And every day I think, I could have done better. Even on the days I tried really hard, I know I could have done better. Sometimes we hold ourselves to an impossible standard of perfection, and it's one of Satan's greatest tools. Then I was reminded that w...

Funny: Well this week was absolutely full of miracles!!! One of them was pretty funny. So, this last Tuesday I turned 20 years old! We had back to back lessons all day except for our dinner hour. We decided for dinner we were going to go to Texas Road House to celebrate. All throughout dinner we kept having people come up to us and ask us about our name tags and who we are. We were more than happy to tell them how we are missionaries for Christs church. We were surprised at how much success we were finding at Texas Road House! Then when we went to pay for our meals (which were really expensive because we both got almost $20  steaks) We found that some man at the bar decided to pay for our meals, and he remained anonymous so we don't know who he was. It was definitely a tender mercy! The lord is very aware of us and blesses us when we are obedient.  Spiritual: Where to begin. Like I said before this week was full of miracles! This weekend we had stake conference, and El...
