Where in the OCM is Sister Grant Going?



I'd just like to start this email off with a scripture. Doctrine and Covenants chapter 38 verse 32: 
32 Wherefore, for this cause I gave unto you the commandment  that ye should go to the Ohio; and there I will 
give unto you my law; and there you shall be endowed with power from on high;

As you can tell I'M FINALLY GOING TO OHIO! Wap wap wap! I'm headed to Akron tomorrow morning to serve in the Akron ward in the Akron North Area! YAY! My new companion will be Sister Bywater and coincidentally we already have a picture together! (picture #1) She is the very teeny tiny one! About 12 weeks ago we went on exchanges once in North Olmstead when our old companions were going to the trainer's meeting. I'm excited to go to Akron! Sister Reddish says it is the best stake in the OCM and I'll take her word for it! 

I will miss Youngstown A TON! I really love this place. So many great things have happened here and I'm grateful for my 6 months I got in this nut house! 

For Thanksgiving we went to the Shirley's. Brother Shirley is our ward mission leader and his brother is also Brother Shirley and their mom is Sister McMurray and she is 103 years old. She is SO CUTE! And she can hear like nothing, but it's okay because they all just shout in her ears. It's hilarious! We took a picture with them. (pic 2)

(Pic 3) Sister Winsor and I with Becky (the little one) and Nikki. I love them! We had to push Nikki's baptism date because she hasn't quit smoking yet, but she will soon! She wants to be baptized on her mom's birthday which is January 5th! She can totally do it! Keep her in your prayers. Unfortunately I won't be able to update you. I'll miss Nikki so much! 

(Pic 4) Cute Vivian! I WILL MISS HER SO MUCH! We helped her put up her Christmas decorations this week. She is so cute! 

I really love this place and I'm gonna miss it with all my heart, but I am so excited to experience Ohio! 

Love yins so much! Thank you for all of your support! 
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
