Happy Memorial Day!

Hola!
First off, happy Memorial Day! And happy late birthday to Erin! And happy early birthday to Collin! 

This week was really great! We taught Joan on Saturday! I don't know if I've told you about Joan but she is great! We were trying an old referral for a missionary visit named Jonah but when we knocked on the door Joan answered and was super confused because her name is similar to that and just a couple weeks before we knocked on her door one of her best friends (who is a member of the church) told her she needed to get a copy of the Book of Mormon and read it! So we talked to her about the Book of Mormon and set up a time to meet with her again. We taught her the restoration and she said she felt so good as we were sharing it. And then we came back this Saturday to clarify some things about the Book of Mormon and make sure she understood everything we shared with her. We brought Sister Cady (a member of the BG ward) with us and it was a really good lesson. Joan has had a lot of questions all her life concerning religion. She was sharing some of them with us and it's so cool because ALL of her questions could be answered through the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We're excited to keep teaching her. We hope to see her progress too! She really is amazing! Its incredible to see how much the Gospel makes sense! It might not all time time but it sure will if we keep learning about it. And it helps answer questions of the soul. The Gospel is awesome!

We also had a Memorial Day picnic at the church on Monday and DAN CAME AND BROUGHT HIS SISTER!! It was so great! We sat by them and it was really great for one of Dan's family members to see we aren't freaks! I love the Bowling Green Ward so much!

We had exchanges yesterday and Monday with the Fremont Sisters. This means Sister Grimnes and Sister Callister came to our area! I had the wonderful opportunity to spend the day with Sister Callister! We did lots of tracting and lots of service! We helped a lady pull approximately 1,000,000 weeds from her flower beds. It was so much fun! 

It's been hot and humid and it's been pretty nice. I'm so grateful for the sun and even more grateful for sun screen! 
Love yins!

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...

The Miracles Haven't Stopped!

Wow! What an amazing week Sister Pierce and I had! We have witnessed so many of the Lord's blessings! Tricia and Christian brought their friend Louy to church and we've started teaching him.  Christian knows the Book of Mormon is true!!!!!! I love those 3 people so much and all of their dogs! Adam came to church!! The ward LOVED him! He loved church! We taught him the Word of Wisdom and he threw away everything that would stop him from living it! He's been studying the Book of Mormon everyday and probably gets more out of his studies than I do!  We love Adam so much! (By we I mean all 7 missionaries serving in this ward!) We stand by the front doors and greet people before sacrament meeting starts every Sunday and when he walked through the church doors on Sunday, we all shouted, "ADAM!" at the same time! He's just so cool! We will probably get to meet his kids this week!!!!!  We started teaching Kelly. She's  Adam's daughter-in-la...

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...
