Conference is the Bomb


Hello!
What a great week it has been! Let me tell you about it!

So we have been talking to a ton of people everyday at Oakland University! It's such a great place to serve! People are always willing to talk once; the second time is the struggle but there are some elect people there. We are finding them! 

I LOVE GENERAL CONFERENCE! I'm so grateful that we have a prophet on the earth today. I'm grateful for the priesthood and that it's been restored and is in our church. I'm grateful that Jesus Christ leads our church and is the source of all truth. I'm grateful that through Him we can change instantly; we can repent everyday. I'm so grateful to have been able to come to the Michigan Detroit Mission and learn about repentance, charity, and so much more. This place is the best and I never want to leave! 

Two hour church is gonna be so good! I am so excited for "family centered, church supported" gospel learning! What a blessing! I'm so excited that we are being asked to be more spiritually self-reliant. That's something I'm really grateful to have learned on my mission is that I have to grow my own testimony and I'm so grateful that some many people in my life support it and strengthen it. I know this gospel is true. I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's church restored to the earth. I testify we have a prophet on the earth today and that he is super bomb and inspired! 

We watched Conference at a senior missionary couple's home on Saturday. We had our preparation day Saturday so we chilled with them all day! It was like being at my grandparents. ❤ We were able to have a lot of fun with them. Sister Bretz and I have been going through old teaching records and we found one for Steven. We called him and he said he would come watch conference. He came for the Saturday afternoon session. IT WAS SWEET! He told us he is actually a member and was baptized four-ish years ago in Lansing, MI and he just moved back from Boise area! #Idahome He hasn't gone to church in a super long time and we called at a 'convenient' time. BUT we know there are no coincidences! We are doing the Lord's work and He wanted us to call Steven so we did. He was so great! And he wants to come back to church! ❤❤ 

We also started teaching a lady named Teresa. We were gonna go to the Patrick's home for Sunday Conference (President Patrick is our branch president), but Bishop Wirthlin (Bloomfield Hills ward bishop) texted us and said something like "hey sisters, can you come watch conference at the church? There is a homeless lady here and it would make my life easier." So we were like sure! So we met Teresa. She's homeless and came to the church because she wanted to find who her dad was (family history center). She is super sweet and we started teaching her! That was cool to watch conference with her! I love this place! 
Sorry I've sent some lame emails lately! FORGIVE ME! ðŸ˜Š I plan on being better! 
Also we had MLC this week! That was bomb! I saw Sister Rice and I'm so excited to go to BYUI with her! ❤

Also we spent Friday in Detroit! YAY! We did a service project called Life Remodeled. We cleaned up some neighborhoods and it was such a good experience. I love service! Service makes me happy! I want to do service forever so let me know if I can do service for any of you. Seriously. 

Sister Bretz and I talked two ladies named Monica, and Shawn (her name was longer but I can't remember so she told us to call her Shawn). Monica has a little baby named Donica. Shawn showed us all of the murals she has painted inside her home and they were both so kind. We were able to testify of the Book of Mormon to them. I testify it's true and by reading it and living it we will all be a happier people! 

Love yins! If you haven't watched conference yet I invite you all to watch at least one talk! IT WILL MAKE YOU SO HAPPY! I promise that!

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
