Here's An Email


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 exaggeration). 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 too! He can fix anything if you turn to Him! This is one of my favorite lines from Preach My Gospel, "As we rely on the Atonement of Jesus Christ, He can help us endure our trials, sicknesses, and pain. We can be filled with joy, peace, and consolation. All that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ" (PMG pg. 52). I love Jesus Christ, I love Heavenly Father. They love us. ❤

Sister Pierce and I talked to a lot of people this week. Good things are happening! We weren't able to meet with a lot of friends that we are teaching and that was kind of a bummer because I love them all so much. But we've been able to meet some great people!

Adam brought his two kids to church this week! He has a daughter named, Aleeya (9), and a son named Jackson (6). Those kids were so quiet during sacrament meeting! But the ward took them in so kindly and they LOVED primary! 

It's been a good one! I'm ready for another good one this week! 

Thank you all. I love you all so much! SO MUCH! Thank you for all of your support and your prayers and everything. I only have a couple emails left to send (aka a couple emails you have to read/ skim until you get to the pictures lol). Thanks again! Love yins!

Love, Sister Grant

    I miss you, sweet, kind-hearted Adrienne. I'm so happy you are nearing your return home; but, I know the mission field will miss you. Your kindness and empathy has been a blessing to those you have encountered on your mission. I enjoyed the time we got to spend together and will truly miss you. I hope you will come back to BG some day.

    Love you.

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

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&
