It's All Downhill from Here



What up fam?
This week was so great! 

On Saturday we had a great opportunity to go to Cleveland for a mission conferece where we were all able to hear from Elder Christofferson from the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Elder Neilson from the Seventy and it was so great! We talked about missionary work and hope and faith. Elder Christofferson talked a little and then he opened up time for us to ask him questions and I loved it! I didn't ask any but those who did asked great questions that I was really glad they asked. It was so wonderful and the Spirit was so strong! We also were able to take a picture with them and shake their hands. In case you wanted to know Elder Christofferson has the softest hands ever. Literally his hands were so soft. I wish I had some quotes or something that I liked from it but I do not.. I forgot my notes.. Sorry! But know that it was really good and the Spirit was so strong! 

Also we were in Richfield this week and were able to go to the highest point (hence the title of the email). It is Summit county (and also the highest point in the Ohio Cleveland Mission). That was a fun little excursion. :)
We also went on exchanges this week and I LOVE EXCHANGES! I set a goal for myself to put faith in front of fear and Sister Archibald was so able to help me do that! I love Sister Archibald. I didn't take any pictures but we're seeing them today so maybe I'll take pictures then! 

I love being a missionary. There is no job I would rather have! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Sharing the love of God and the best message ever (aka the message of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ) is the most happy thing. I'm so grateful! 

Love you all have a great week!
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
