Life as a Mother!

Sister Grant and another missionary in the OCM
Hey pals!
This week has been so great! I got my baby. Her name is Sister Grimnes and she's from Santa Maria, CA. It's so cute to see her in the snow. She's so fascinated by it! It's been so fun to have her. I honestly forget that I'm training though. I have to do everything twice because I do it once and then I have to do it again. After I say, "OH MY GOSH I'M SO SORRY! I FORGET THAT I WAS TRAINING!" and then I redo it all again. It's been good! 

I forgot my camera so sorry no pictures of her this week!

Also half of our district got replaced this week. I LOVE THIS DISTRICT SO MUCH! Elder Haderlie is serving in New Portage and it's been so fun to see him again. We also got a new DL named Elder Brown. He's so great. They're so awesome! 

We had the opportunity to watch President Monson's funeral this week. I'm forever grateful for him and his great example of a wonderful prophet of God. One of my favorite quotes was his daughter, Sister Dibbs, quoting him. He would ask people, "Do you want to paint a bright spot on your soul today?" Then he'd ask them to serve others. Such a great example of service!

We also were able to watch the announcement of President Nelson yesterday with our zone and with President and Sister Brown. That was an amazing experience to watch with my fellow missionaries in the OCM. I can't wait to sustain our leaders April!

It's been a great week! Also we switched apartments with the elders this week so our new address is:
168 Kenridge
Fairlawn, OH
44333

LOVE 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
