Funny: We live right on the border of Minnesota, and we cross it usually at least once a week. Every time we get off the freeway in Minnesota there is a weird exit where we have to drive on the left side of the road, and all of a sudden everyone's accents get stronger. We have come to the conclusion that the red river border between North Dakota and Minnesota must be some kind of dimensional portal. We have all kinds of theories about it. 

Spiritual: There is a great difference between knowing of Christ, and coming to know him. In Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." We come to know Christ better as we become more like him. That was his invitation to all mankind to come follow him. I testify that we can come to know Christ, as we strive to become more like him, and do the will of the father.

Where I'm at: I love that it is finally summer here! It feels so nice. This week will be my one-year mark on my mission, it's crazy how fast time flies when you're having fun! It really has gone by so fast, but I can honestly say I have loved every second of it, even the hard parts. I'm very grateful to be serving here in the North Dakota Bismark mission! ❤

Ofa atu!
