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 restored upon the earth, as has His priesthood authority. We explained that God has given us the opportunity to make and keep sacred covenants with him such as baptism. We invited him to be baptized, and he said "I will believe and do all that you tell me." All of a sudden, I thought of king Lamoni who said "yea, I will believe all thy words." to Ammon. Then after that we found out Bolahi's grandfather is the king of his tribe in Nigeria, and he could be called back at any time to become king! It was as if we were literally living the scriptures. It is one of the greatest miracles I have ever witnessed on my mission. 

Where I'm at: The Work in Fargo is doing so great! We have never ending work of teaching prepared people! I love it! If everything stays on the course it is now, we will have a baptism every weekend for the month of June! We have this great cycle where every week we find lots of new people to teach and stop teaching the ones that aren't keeping the commitments we leave with them. They stay in area book so missionaries in the future can teach them again, when they are more ready to progress. There are so many people coming to church, and who want to get baptized. It's amazing how the Lord just goes about doing His work. I definitely know he qualifies those who he calls. Because even though we are extremely imperfect and flawed the Lord uses us to do his work any ways!
