Emergency Transfers!


Hello Idaho and more!
So crazy story! This week (great week by the way) we got a call on Wednesday from President Cleveland and he said that he received new revelation and Sister Stephan was going to switch areas with another sister. So on Saturday Sister Bretz came here to Oakland campus and Sister Stephan went to serve on Eastern Michigan University campus. So that's cool! I miss Sister Stephan a lot but I also really love Sister Bretz! The two days that we've been together we've seen a lot of miracle. Including 3 new people to teach and having 4 people on date to be baptized! Incredible!

Unfortunate, Danman wasn't baptized... but I know there will be a day in the future he will be! I have no doubt! One day he'll be ready to be baptized and confirmed! 

Miracle! Sister Bretz and I were going to go to an appointment with a girl Sister Stephan and I had met last week named Chrissy. She flamed us and so we went tracting the other half of her street. We knocked on a door and I knew it was gonna be a good one! We met a mom named May and she let us right. We were able to teach May and her husband, Chong the message of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They really seemed to enjoy and understand it too! It was so great! We have an appointment tonight with May!! Chong, unfortunately, has to work :( But they also have three of the cutest children I've ever seen in my whole life! They have a 5 year old named Ellie, a 3 year old named Mina, and a 1 year old named Zoey. THEY ARE SO CUTE! Seriously it was such a great miracle! I'm so grateful that we were able to teach them. I seriously love them so much! 

Yesterday we had a lesson with a guy named Jordan. We were able to teach him the restoration too and he accepted to be baptized on September 8th! It was so great! I love the gospel! Also we got a new investigator from some elders in our district. They had been teaching Lucien for a while but he wants to attend the YSA so we are starting to teach him! He came to church yesterday and it was a great miracle! I'm so grateful! 

So Saturday was mine and Sister Bretz's first day together. We also went into Detroit that day. Haha! That was an interesting, but super great experience! We went to have a member visit with our Relief Society president. It was so great! Her name is Laira! SHE IS THE BOMB! She's going to dental school at Detroit Mercy (so are like three other people in the YSA). She went to BYUI before, though, and we had the same teacher! That was cool to talk to her about! Then we walked around Detroit for a while contacting people and trying to contact former investigators. Don't worry though we were in a safe more touristy part of Detroit. It was really fun!

This week has been great. I'm settling in alright! The MDM is really all about teaching pure doctrine. I've kinda felt like I don't know it all that well so I've been studying it so it's been a learning experience. It's all going well though. I love being on a mission! 

I hope you all have a great week! Love yins!
Love, Sister Grant

4. Sister Stephan, me, and our investigator Ressee! She's so funny! She was saying how her kids' last name is Stephans (pronounced Stevens) and they always get called Stephan and Sister Stephan said that she always gets called Stevens and Ressee looked at her and just goes, "You are my daughter." lol.

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
