Week 2

Sister Grant and Sister Warren

 Hello hello friends! 

 I love you all! This week has gone incredibly fast! It feels like just yesterday I was having P-day. I feel really comfortable here now and that's all gonna go away for a while because I leave bright and early 3:30 Tuesday morning! Myself, Sister Warren, Elder Hawkins, and Elder Skinner all leave at 3:30 in the morning to head to the airport... yay.. jk It will be good! We also travel with 5 other sisters going to Cleveland but they're all assigned to the visitors center! So that'll be fun to get to know them! We've seen them and I follow one on instagram and they're all very sweet! I'm excited to go with them!The rest of our district leaves at 3:50 in the morning. I will be so sad to leave my district :( but that's okay! We all plan on staying in touch! I just love them all so much!
A lot of people moved into the new buildings this week but my zone moves in next Monday, so we'll get one day in there! The new buildings are BEAUTIFUL! so so so so so great! It almost feels like a temple inside if that makes sense. They have so many great pictures and quotes on the walls and they all center you on Christ. It feels so great in there! My favorite part about the new buildings is the ponder rooms. They have giant pictures of prophets and stuff and then on the other side of the wall it has a question to ponder about that! I'll send pics! The best was the Moses one. It is an incredible pictures of him and his people walking across the red sea! It just. I can't. It's so beautiful and so touching to me. 


Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? - Exodus 3;11
"Do I have enough faith in Jesus Christ to accomplish anything He wants me to do?"

Also there are so many windows and they views are great! I love it! I wish we got more than one day in the new building but oh well! What can ya do? Ya know?


Also there was a pretty boring devotional on Sunday (I don't wanna use the word boring but frankly it was). But there was a great one on Tuesday! First of all it started off with the choir singing "Consider the Lillies" and it made me tear up because Mom always plays it and it made me really happy! I love that song! Then Elder Jorge Zeballos and his wife spoke and it was so great! The spirit taught me so many things! 

My district got to host some international missionaries yesterday! It was fun! They have a lot more to do than the missionaries from American and Canada so we got to show them around a lot more. Most of us hosted new missionaries from South Korea. They come here and then they go back to serve in South Korea. They had to get some chest xrays so we got to go to the BYU health center with them. It was kind of like a breath of fresh air to get out of the MTC. Don't get me wrong I love it here but also I can feel a little trapped. Also it was weird because Fixer Upper was playing on the TV but I enjoyed it haha!

Sister Warren and I taught the coolest person in the whole world! Her name is Becca and she is so cool! But we had our last lesson with her yesterday :( she is going camping in Southern Utah so unfortunately we won't see her again but I told her to hit us up if she ends up in Ohio! I cannot explain how cool she is! She's just great!

I got your package today! Thank you! I appreciate it! Made me feel very loved! We are outside quite a bit but not as much as the earlier weeks. It is getting so hot! We used to go outside for all of our exercise times but this week they finished the new gym floor. It is beautiful! SO NICE! Also its great to smell a gym! Smells like the school's gym! It brings back great memories! We play 4 square a lot as a zone and I play volleyball a lot! It's really fun! 

Also I'm hearing the Cavs are not doing great at all. I am wearing a mission shirt today and it says I'm going to Cleveland and a worker at breakfast told me that they had lost all three games so far! What the heck!? jk.. I'm not really invested! But hey! I'd like a win. Oh well!


I love you all! And I am thankful for everyone of you! Thank you for the support! Have the best week :) Next time you hear from me I'll be in Ohio! 
Love, Sister Grant :)

Where I'm headed
Look, I found my mom!

Hey fam! This week went by crazy fast. Honestly, time just needs to slow down. I'm not quite ready to go home yet. Don't get me wrong. I'm excited to see all of you, but I'm really sad to be leaving. I'm trying to soak it all in while I can!  This week was a super one! We had exchanges and both Sister Bretz and her trainee, Sister Anderson, came to Roseville. It was so much fun! I was able to spend the whole day with Sister Anderson and she's awesome. I swear when I had been out for 3 weeks I said maybe like 3 words a day (okay maybe that's an exaggera tion). I was so nervous and it took me a super long time to get used to the missionary way, but Sister Anderson was bomb! She killed it the whole day! We studied the Plan of Salvation together. Wow. I love Heavenly Father so much! He loves so much. His plan for us to have joy and to return to Him with our families (aka the Plan of Salvation) is literally perfect. Jesus Christ makes it all possible to

Loving the MTC and a Testimony

Dear Mom, Dad, Collin, Kenna, and Katy,  (letter written on Sunday, June 4th) Record Katy's setting apart! Then you can type it and send it to her. Sister Warren did that and I think it's a great idea. How is Katy? I honestly can't think about her leaving because it makes me wanna cry. I know that I had such a bad day (the second day only - every day has been better since) I'm worried about her. I know I shouldn't be and I'm trying not to, but it's hard not to! I've really learned to fully rely on the Lord. He has felt these exact same things we've felt. He will help us through them. We taught our first investigator (an MTC one) on Monday. I was terrified. We taught her the Restoration (which I have learned a lot about). Her name is Patty and she had a son that died. We shared with her some trials in our life and how we know God had helped us through. Parents, the spirit was so strong! I didn't even need my notes. I just spoke from my heart

Best Exchange Ever

On an exchange with Sister Jenkins. The house of many children. It has been a really good week! Even though we kinda got dropped by Perry. That was sad, but we're trying to see what we can do.  We went on exchanges yesterday and IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I was with Sister Jenkins again! It was her last exchange because she goes home and transfers are next week. It will be so sad to see her go. She was Sister Reddish's trainer so she is my grandma. She gave me an ugly floral shirt that she's worn throughout her mission and I feel so honored! But it was so fun to be with her. She is super great at talking to people and she is such a great example to me. We visited a lot of their less actives while I was there and we visited this one family who has 4 kids and then they take in their neighborhood kids - so so many kids were at their house while we were teaching about service! It was so loud and chaotic, but when we started to teach about service it was really good and
