First Transfer, Few Kisses, and a Miracle

The district and twinner clothes


Hello Everyone!

First things first, HAPPY PIONEER DAY! We didn't do anything here, but it was nice to think that people were celebrating at home :) Those floats in the parade are amazing! Also that bike ride sounds so fun! I wanna go on bike rides with you all after I get home. Was it difficult? Where was it at? Have you been to Yellowstone at all? 
I love thinking about Denny's hahaha! There is one on the main road here in Hermitage and every time we drive or walk by all I can think is, "I hate eggs." hahahahah!! I love that memory!! Also I literally laughed out loud as I read that story about Buddy and the earwigs! YUCK! We were talking to our investigator David this last week and we were talking about bugs and I said that I think earwigs are the worst bugs ever to exist and he didn't know what they were. I thought there would be loads of them here because there are loads or corn! But I am glad that there isn't they're so freaky!! 

Mom, that thing you heard at church on Sunday reminds me of part of Preach My Gospel and it is in a chapter that talks about preparing lessons and it says that we should think about what we want the person to KNOW, FEEL, and DO. So it's kind of the other side of what you heard :)  

We have avoided as many kisses as possible this week but still I got kissed twice. But Denny has officially moved so none from him! 

I cannot believe that I've already made it through my first transfer! These past 6 weeks have totally flown by! We had our last district meeting with everyone, so there is a picture of that. Also I heard that some sisters in my zone were training this transfer so I hope that Sister Parker comes to the Youngstown Zone! THAT WOULD BE THE BEST THING EVER!!! She flies here, to the OCM, today and then I probably won't know where she is for a while but I hope I see her as soon as possible! 

This week has all mushed together into one day in my mind, so I'm really having to think about what happened and what to put in this letter! We have contacted a lot and everyone has been really nice and we've met some potential investigators so that's been good. Also we had a member dinner this week with our ward mission leader and he lives in Greenville. That is pretty far away from where we live, so since we don't make it out there that often we decided to go to some part member families up there. We decided to visit the Patrick family and the mom, Angela, is a member and no one else is but they used to take the lessons so we decided to give them a try. We went to their house and knocked on their door and they let us right in and were so excited to see us! They had just been talking earlier that day about giving us and call. It was so awesome! So we asked them if they wanted to take the lessons again and they said yes! It was such a miracle! It was just so awesome! We're meeting with them again tomorrow. So yay! David came to church on Sunday! It was so great!
Also this week Sister Reddish got a package and her mom had sent her a new skirt and it matches one of my dresses! So obviously we wore them so we could match. It was fun! 

I love you all! I hope you all have a great week! Thanks for being the best! Remember God loves you!

Love, Sister Grant​

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
