Adam's Baptism! :D



Hello friends and family,
This week was so, so, so wonderful! We saw like a billion miracles this week!

#1 HIGHLIGHT OF THE WHOLE WEEK! ADAM EMMENDORFER WAS BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO WONDERFUL! His kids were there and it was so great. Happiest moment!! He was so stoked. And he's so ready and he bore his testimony and it was so sweet! It's been so amazing to watch his testimony of the gospel grown these past weeks. It's been incredible to witness! He also was confirmed on Sunday and it was so wonderful. He invited so many people to his baptism. He had so many friends and family there! It was awesome! We've started teaching his friend Darren. Adam has completely changed his life in the past year. One year ago he didn't even believe in God and now he is a true disciple of Jesus Christ. Adam is the bomb. I'm so glad he's my family!

 We had cookie splits Thursday night. We went to visit the first person on our list and we knocked on his door. Some guy answered and we asked for Brother Provo, but he said he didn't live there. So we started talking to the guy who answered the door. His name is Korey. We talked a little about the Book of Mormon and asked if we could share more and he said yes! We went back Sunday night and he said he would read and pray about the Book of Mormon. Korey is awesome!   

I can't express in words how I feel about going home. I feel like it's impossible to describe; I'm so sad but also I'm so excited! My family has been so good at supporting me; my MDM family, my OCM family, and my family at home. I'm so grateful. Gratitude; that's what I feel the most of. I'm grateful for Heavenly Father and His plan for us. I'm grateful for the Savior and His sacrifice for us. I'm grateful the my testimony. I'm so grateful for my MDM family of missionaries, members, and non-members. I'm just so grateful.

Being with the people of PA, Ohio, and Michigan has been such a privilege. It's been an even bigger honor to be serving my Father in Heaven.  I'm so grateful for the testimony I've developed. I testify that the Book of Mormon is true; it's the word of God and will help everyone for the better in their life. I testify God has a plan for teach of us and that Jesus Christ is at the center of this plan. Jesus Christ is our Savior. He will help us through everything as we turn to Him; just ask for His help and He'll be there. I testify that through Jesus Christ we can change; we can repent; we can find happiness and joy despite the hard time we all experience. I testify that His gospel is the only to find that happiness; faith, repentance, baptism, the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. I testify that Jesus Christ's gospel has been restored through the prophet Joseph Smith also with the authority from God, and the Church of Jesus Christ. I testify that we have a prophet called by God on the earth today; that man is President Russel M Nelson and he receives revelation from God. He is our anchor that will lead us back to Heavenly Father. I testify that these things are what will bring lasting happiness to people. I've seen it in me and the people I've been able to teach. 

I'm so thankful for this privilege I've had to serve the Lord for a full-time 18 month mission. It's been the best time of my life so far. 

Thank you for each of your support. It has meant the world. I love yins!
Love, Sister Grant

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

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

Settling In :)

Hello there friends! This week was good! I can't really remember what happened. I should start writing myself notes so I know what to say. Anyway I'll try my best! We did service for a guy names David this week! IT WAS SO FUN!! We helped him move wood and piled his wood. It was great to wear a t-shirt and jeans! David has been getting the lessons for like forever now but lately he hasn't been asked commitments or anything so we think that he thinks meeting with the missionaries is just like hanging out, but Sister Reddish and I are gonna change that. We had asked him the week before to read the intro to the Book of Mormon and we were gonna ask him if he thought it was true like he used to, but we didn't ever end up making it to a lesson haha. David likes to talk a lot - like A LOT. Everyone in Ohio/PA likes to talk a lot but David is a special case. He reminds me of someone from home so I love to see him! He is one of my favorite people I've met probably! We&
