Come to Minnesota!

Come to MN
One reason to come to MN is to escape from the war, problems, and anything that was difficult in the place you are/were living in. Another reason to come here is because MN is very large, it has lots of resources, people that live here are strong, courageous, good, and always succeed. MN also has lots of open farming land. Those were reasons to come to MN by Theodore Bost and Guri Sanders-Datter.
