Happy Week! All is Well.

Sister Winsor and I after Trunk or Treat
Happy late Halloween! And HAPPY NOVEMBER! How is it already November!? Time flies!

I've had a very happy week :)

We had a trunk or treat and chili cook off with the ward and it was SO MUCH FUN! David came and he had a great time! We started the lessons over with him and will be seeing him tomorrow :) It was so much fun to be with the ward! Bishop Carl is the funniest man I've ever met in my life! He told us how he used to dress up in black and put a light in a pumpkin and scare his kids by running around in the dark with the glowing pumpkin doing the "Magic Pumpkin Dance." He is so hilarious!

The ward got some changes this week. Brother Betts and Sister Betts are leaving this week :( saddest news of my life.. But we're having dinner with them tomorrow so it's okay! But Brother Betts got released from the bishopric and Brother Houser got called to be in the Bishopric as the 1st Counselor which meant we needed a new ward clerk.. so Brother Richins got called to be the ward clerk! That mean's we'll be getting a new ward mission leader soon! Exciting stuff!

We have had some great lessons with Nikki this week! There have been some great miracles as well! She has struggled with addictions and she is clean now, but she says she has always struggled with urges to partake of those harmful things again, but she said after her blessing she hasn't had an urge since. Nikki has such strong faith! MIRACLE! We also taught her the Word of Wisdom this week. It's wasn't a planned lesson because we thought we were meeting with her husband James as well, but he didn't end up being home. It ended up being a great thing because Brother Thibideau was there and we were able to teach our lesson on the Word of Wisdom that we had planned for last week. She says she smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day and the day after we taught that lesson we went back over to her house to set some goals and make plans for her to quite smoking and drinking coffee and she had only had 7 cigarettes in the whole day! How amazing is that! Keep her in your prayers! She can do this and really wants to and I know your prayers will help! She wants to be baptized so strongly and is willing to change her life to do so. We were talking and she was telling us how much happier she has felt since we started meeting with her, and I'll tell you what- we can see how much happier she is too. She told us she's so grateful that we came into her life. I'm so grateful she came into ours. She has shown me how the gospel of Jesus Christ can bless lives. I'm so grateful to see that in her!

We haven't been able to get a hold of Leon this week :( But we're not giving up! 

Love you all so much! 

Love, Sister Grant

Me smiling after a super happy week

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
