I'm Katy Grant. I'm going to New Zealand to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is definitely my biggest adventure ever. I can't wait to get there. I enter the New Zealand MTC on July 6th - after a VERY long flight. Follow me here as my letters and emails will posted by my mom weekly.

Changes

Kia Ora! Last week I got to skype my family! And that was so much fun! I got so see their cute faces! But this week some of my plans have changed. I have been sick for the last few weeks and went to Hamilton last week for get some tests done to see if we can figure out what is happening. But after a week of doctors visits and tests, they haven't been ale to figure it out so, unfortunately, I am going to be going home for the time being. But that's okay because as soon as we figure it out I will be right back here in NZ! This week I have had to realize that our plans don't always turn out the way we would like them to but Heavenly Father has a plan for us, and this will all work according to His timing. I am so gutted to be leaving, but so excited to see my fam!  Pictures: 1. Me and some Christmas gifts we got! (look at the tiny Nutella!) 2. Sister Scherer and I 3. A crack up dry cleaning sign I saw in New Plymouth 4. The temple! 5. Our view of the templ...

Christmas Skype

Image
Katy put off talking to family until her 26th but Christmas Day for the family. This made it possible all of us, including her sister, Adri, serving in Cleveland, Ohio, to join and so the entire family was "together" for that brief moment. It was a very sweet moment. We were surprised to see that Katy and her companion, Sister Scherer, were in Hamilton and staying at the "nunnery" next to the temple. She has been ill, and true to Katy form, has not complained about it, so we were quite unaware. But, she looked happy and good. She has told us she was "fine" and "all is well." She was funny and we had a delightful visit with her. We are anxious to find out the results of medical tests that she has had done and are praying that all is well. That is about all a family can do when they are so far away.

Welcome to the West Side!

Hello everyone!  This week was transfers! So I am now serving in the Hawera Branch in Taranaki. I went from one side of the island to the other!  I had to ride a bus about 6 hours to Hamilton and then I went like 4 hours to New Plymouth and then we had to drive like 45 minutes to Hawera. M y comp is Sister Schrere (she's from Scranton, PA!!) She is really sweet! She goes home in April. My area is huge! It covers from Normanby down to Waverly (the bottom of the Hamilton mission). So its really different from Gizzy! But its good. And, we don't do any singing. Yesterday, because it was Testimony Meeting, a little boy got up (he's American and I love their family). He gets up and says, "Today I'm going to talk about looking for the good things in life." Then he goes on to say when he grows up he wants to be a miner and he says, "And one day I was just thinking about mining and I thought 'you just gotta mine for the good things in life'"....
