February 17, 2024 ~ Parked in Wayzata’s former Historical Society (Depot Museum; a historical site) next to the railroad tracks and Lake Minnetonka. Prayed and decreed according to suggested decrees and prayers. Played and sang “I Speak Jesus” over the lake and area. Thanked an Army Veteran for his service before leaving the site. He volunteers at the Depot Museum and asked me to come back when open to learn its history. I may do that.
I was led to look up the meaning of the name of Minnetonka (Lake Minnetonka; Minnetonka is also a town next to Wayzata).
Minnetonka is in Hennepin County Minne (also spelled mini) is the common Dakota word for water, and tonka (also spelled tanka) is likewise their common word meaning big or great, but the name thus compounded seems not to have been used by the Dakota till Ramsey (Alexander) coined it for the lake.
