Holy Heat Wave


Hello Fam!

Shout out to Erin and Matt! Congratulations on the wedding! I wish I could have been there, but just know I was there in spirit :) 

Another shout out to Brianne Marie Nelson who leaves on her mission in less than a week! Cray man! You'll be the best cutest missionary ever!

This week has been RIDICULOUSLY hot! I hear you are all freezing in Idaho (aka the Promised Land) and we're melting! It has been in the high 80s and even up into the 90s.. It's okay though! I really don't mind too much! It's suppose to start cooling down tomorrow we hear so that's really nice!  The coats and boots are PERFECT! 

This week the reoccurring thought that has been going through my head is "you reap what you sow" and so the one Shawn Mendes song has been stuck in my head.. anyway.. You for sure see more blessings the harder you work. I've been able to see that this week!

First off we had an awesome district meeting. I love love love district meetings and this one was really cool! We talked about power and authority that comes from being a missionary. Elder Beck (our dorky district leader that I think is the funniest and he plays the ukulele) said that we have the authority but it's up to us to get the power! I've been thinking about that a lot and about being a consecrated missionary. Sister Winsor is good for me because she is very obedient! She's a great example to me! 

We also picked up a new investigator named Shawnee and she is real cute! She's 24 and has a 3 year old daughter named Jordan. She has had some tough situations, but we just know so much that the gospel can help her so much! She's really sweet. Hopefully she starts progressing. 

Also we went to the Stoots' this past week and it was nice to meet them. They are a part-member family. Sister Stoots is a member but isn't very active. They have a super busy life, but there is so much potential there! We had a lesson last night at their house with just Sister Stoots and her 16 year old son Hunter and Brother Palmer came with.  It was so awesome! Brother Palmer is their home teacher and we shared the Mormon Message "Mountains to Climb" and then talked about faith and it was super awesome! You all should go watch that video. It's just so great!

Also Sister Winsor got me sick this week. Not on purpose! I guess that's just what happens when you are with a person 24 hours a day.  Last night it hit me. I am feeling pretty terrible, but not unbearable. I am just exhausted. Luckily it's preparation day, but at the same time I don't wanna be sick on preparation day! That's so dumb!

It's gonna be a good week! General Conference is this weekend and I am STOKED! It's gonna be so good! It's such a blessing to have a prophet on the earth today and how we have to opportunity to hear from the apostles and prophet. I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO SO EXCITED! Then we have exchanges on Monday night/Tuesday and then on Wednesday we're going to the temple with the zone leaders and Brother Thibideau! On Thursday we have Zone Conference! It's gonna be a great week! 

I love you all so much!

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

Image
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
