Dear Family and Friends,

Happy birthday to my awesome Dad who turned even older yesterday!:)

This past Monday we were invited by a member in our ward out to a ranch by Hawley, Minnesota to do some leadership training with horses! I was a little squeamish around the horses at first but it was so cool to really get comfortable with them! And for anyone who may know the rules of our White Handbook, we did not ride the horses:)

This past Friday was amazing!! Our entire mission went to Minot for a Nashville Tribute Band concert! That entire day was so much fun! Our zone met at the church in Fargo and then drove up to Grand Forks to meet the missionaries of that zone at their church building. We all ate some pre-ordered pizza for a bit and then drove all the way 3 hours west to Minot. The band put on a separate show for just us missionaries before the big concert. Then came the real concert which was amazing! It was so cool to see and hear them play those songs that have become so dear to our missionary hearts! And they are great live! I loved seeing everyone in regular street clothes for a change! It was also wonderful to see so many missionaries I know and love:) 

After the concert we drove back to Grand Forks and stayed the night in the zone leaders' apartment. We didn't get to bed until 2:15. The next morning we drove one last hour down to Fargo. On the drive we got our transfer calls and I am getting transferred to Minot, N.D.! Wow, this will be my third time that zone! Minot is doing really well with missionary work right now and it's either the 2nd or 3rd biggest city in N.D. My new comp will be Elder Beeson. It should be fun! 

Yesterday morning we got an unexpected text from some of my recent converts from Williston! They were on their way to Fargo from Minneapolis. I got to meet them at the Fargo church building and teach their friend the Restoration with them and Elder Jarman! It sure was a blessing to see them:)

I am very grateful for my time spent in Fargo, N.D. I will miss these times with Elder Jarman. I know that God has a plan for me as well as all of us. It fun to gradually see how God puts us in situations that will best help us grow personally:)

Have a great week, everyone! Thanks so much for your prayers!
