Exchanges!

Kia Ora!

This week we had exchanges and they were amazing! I was with Sister Mavae in my area. It was really good though. We decided to go and see this lady, Nicole, who is a former investigator who we haven't been able to catch since like my 3rd week in Gisborne. We went to her house and she was home so we got to see her! She said that she had to pay a bill recently that made it so she didn't have money for food. She also mentioned that she and her daughter shared a bed and that if we knew of someone with a single bed that would be good, too. So I texted our ward mission leader, Brother McClutchie. That night he got a bed and food for her! It was so amazing and she was so thankful for us. It was really cool to be part of a service like that! 

 On exchanges Sister Mavae went and visited some Tongans in our ward. She went and spoke in Tongan and I just sat there because I don't speak Tongan (yet) but it was really cool. I could feel the spirit when she spoke even though I didn't know what she was saying. It was really amazing! 

 On Wednesday we sang at Dis Raeli and it has never been worse when we've been there! The songs were all horrible and it was just so awkward. But the people there had fun and danced and stuff. But on Friday we sang at Kiri Te Kanawa and it was an old lady's birthday. We sang happy birthday to her. It was really sweet!

 Friday night I got really sick and stuff, like I had a fever and it was terrible. But I got a priesthood blessing on Saturday from the elders and I felt much better! Like I'm 100% now! The priesthood is such a blessing! Also congratulations to Erin and Matt!!! I'm so sad I couldn't be at the wedding but I celebrated it here!! I sang the wedding march all day long hah! I love you all so much!!
Love,
Sister Grant

The Week of Two Investigators!

Kia Ora!  This week was great! On Pday we went to this museum but I didn't take pictures because I couldn't' find my camera, but don't worry I found it. It was just in my coat haha! It was a pretty cool museum. There was a lot of like Maori history and stuff! It was really neat!  Then  on Tuesday  we were supposed to leave for zone conference but it got changed to  Thursday . So  on Tuesday  we just went and visited people and hung up some peopl'se laundry and stuff. Just the usual.   On Wednesday   we went and visited a member at Kiri Te Kanawa. She has brain tumors and stuff, but she is the most positive person ever! The only thing she complained about was one of her neighbors who always cries so she doesn't sleep very well. She is such a positive person! Then, we went and cleaned our flat a little bit because we had flat inspection (we got a 10/10 woohoo!) Then we left for zone conference!  We met at the c...

I'm Out in the Field!

Sister Brothers and Sister Grant (they are in a driving area) Hi everyone!  How are you?  I'm sorry I forgot to tell you when I was leaving the MTC. I left  on Wednesday  morning after everyone else had left so my heart was pretty numb at that point from saying goodbyes! I cried so much when I had to say goodbye to my district. It was really hard, and sometimes still is.  All the Wellington missionaries (Elder Smedly, Elder Harrigfeld, Elder Bishoff, Elder Tonumipea, and Sister Ontiveros) left  Tuesday  morning at  6:30 . So I had to say goodbye to them that night and it was so hard. Then Sister Olive and Elder Biranipwepwe left for Sydney  Wednesday  morning at like 4 so that was so hard. And then Elder Holt was supposed to leave at 7 but didnt end up leaving until like  7:30  so I got to say goodbye to him and that was so hard!  On Wednesday  morning I left the MTC and headed to Hamilton. I had to drive on ...

Hello! First Week at the MTC

This is me in front of the NZ MTC! Hi everyone!  How are you all? I am so happy and having so much fun! My comp is sister Olive (Oh-lee-vay) She is from Auckland (Literally like 10 min form MTC) and is going to Sydney North. My district is the Mormon District. There is Elder Smeldy (I sent a pic with him because we recognize each other). His comp is Elder Harrigfeld (He's from Idaho Falls). There is also Elder Bishoff, Elder Tonumipea (From Samoa). Then there is Elder Holt and Elder Bironipewpew (from Kiribati). We have a lot of fun! There is only one set of sisters in each district because there are so many more elders . Oh! After lunch everyday we go to sports. Sister Ontivaros and I play soccer with like 4 other sets of elders and it is so muddy because it rains all the time, but it is so much fun! The first day I was COVERED in mud (I forgot to take a pic) But it was so much fun!  The winter here is so nice! It hasn't been too cold except for when we went t...
