Peace Out OCM!

What up fam?
My new companion, Sister Chance, is so good! We get along real well and we've been working really hard too! It's been a fun week. Sister Chance is from South Jordan, UT! She is so fun. She can quote all of "The Master of Disguise" and "Matilda!" She has a lot of good ideas!

We have cleaned out so much crap out of this apartment. It's little but it was so dirty. Now it's clean. Blessings! 

We found a new person to teach named Tyler. He's pretty cool and he likes to draw. We are seeing him tonight. Hopefully all goes well! Highlight of the week: WE WENT TO KIRTLAND! For any of you who don't know, Kirtland is a historical site of the church. The early members of the church went and settled there for a while. They built the first temple of our time there and a lot of revelations and miracles happened there! 

Last Saturday we loaded up with some of the YSA and traveled a few hours to Kirtland. We saw the Johnson Farm where Joseph Smith lived for a time while he worked on the translation of the Bible. It was cool to see that! Then, we went to the Kirtland temple! What a beautiful place! We felt the Spirit of God there and it was so cool! I did that just over a year ago at the beginning of my mission and I am so grateful that I was able to go again. I learned so much and felt the spirit so strongly. Here is a verse from the dedication of the Kirtland temple, 

7 And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom, seek learning even by study and also by faith;
8 Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing, and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;
It really was such a blessing to be there! Temples are the coolest! Even if you just walk outside of them you can feel so much peace and love and no one will even judge you because they're all so beautiful.

We also went to the Kirtland visitor's center and one of my favorite missionaries ever, Sister Caferelli, and her super sweet companion who I also love so much, Sister Olsen, gave us our tour! I came to Ohio with her so that was really great to see her before we're in different missions.They took us to the Newell K Whitney store and the school of the prophets. So good! And Dan came as well! His favorite parts were the ashery and the saw mill. Dan has been to Kirtland before so even gave us some fun facts that the sisters didn't share this time. It was so much fun! I am so grateful for the dedication of the saints in Kirtland. They were wonderful!

Also the Ohio Cleveland Mission dissolved this week. RIP OCM. I have loved my time in the Ohio Cleveland Mission and I am so grateful for it! President and Sister Brown have taught me so much about dedicating my life to the Lord. I'm so grateful for their examples in my life. I am however also excited to meet President Cleveland on Sunday! YAY!

Love yins! Have a blessed 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

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
