Grant, Mason

Hi! This week I want to send a short email, so here we go!  - Yin got baptized!!!  - Yin got the priesthood  - I met an inactive member that 'supposedly' started the practice of giving new members the priesthood in the first week of conversion during his mission in 1990  - Was part of another baptism of a girl named Neidy. She's the daughter of a member that lives far away  - We had interviews and I got my temple recommend renewed!  - We had divisions with the ZLs and I was with Elder Kubitski  - Our friend Yorleny went to church!!  - We keep working hard   - The state fair is in town  - We met a friend of Elder Elias' from Choloma who's working in the fair  - The fumigator came and cleared the bugs and 'killed me I'm having a fun time here! We're working hard and learning every day! Please keep us in your prayers so we can find more people to teach and help come to the blessed covenant of baptism! Thanks for all your support! ...

Dear Grant Family and leaders, It is my pleasure to reach out to you to share the flight itinerary for Elder Mason Chad Grant, who will soon be returning home after completing his missionary service. We are coordinating all the details to ensure that his return goes as smoothly as possible, making sure he has a safe and well-organized journey. I sincerely appreciate your attention and remain available for any questions you may have. Best regards, Élder Antonio Monterroso

Hi friends! Many awesome things happened this week! Sure, it wasn't a perfect week but it was fun and we had an amazing branch activity! On things that happened this week:  - We had our multi-zone conference this week! It was awesome to hear from our amazing President McClellan. His talk was focused on repentance and on how repenting daily will inspire us to share the gospel more. I also got to see a bunch of old friends. Our next multi-zone conference will be the week before I  finish my mission  so we're in the final stretch now. I won't see my old friends again until the very end, and I'm excited that I still have several weeks before that to work and invite more people to Christ.  -  After the multi-zone conference I bought some awesome (but a little expensive) ties! I was so excited to get them and to have them as souvenirs for my brothers and father, but then I lost the ties on the bus! (There goes my money down the drain). But luckily enough the next day ...

Hi friends! I hope you're doing well! I had a good week! We've been working hard trying to meet new people and helping them get to church. It's hard work as always, but rewarding when the miracles come. We have a ton of referrals right now for a town called Quimistan, so we've been spending extra time trying to find and meet with them. Some referrals are really excited to meet with us and have a ton of questions, and a bunch just ghost us. It's weird sometimes because they fill out a referral sheet asking for us to visit with them, then the referral secretaries call them and confirm their desire to learn more, but when we finally contact them they don't seem as excited to meet with us, but hey, that's life sometimes! We have one referral that is super elect. She got in contact with the missionaries 6 months ago, but they never visited her. This time she tried again and we contacted her straight away and met up with her the next day. She has a ton of question...

This week we had many miracles as we worked with the members in this branch. Hi friends! I hope your week went well and that you enjoyed General Conference. I sure did! This week we ministered to Yin to help him keep progressing towards baptism. But we need your prayers to help him find a job that lets him go to church on Sundays!!! He's currently in a job hunt, so your prayers for helping him with this miracle will be greatly appreciated. Anyways, we visited him with the branch president and the branch mission leader and they were both amazing lessons. I know that my new companion only has a handful of days in the mission, but he already teaches like an experienced mission. I'm so proud of him!  While we went out visiting with the branch mission leader he offerred to take us to his son and daughter-in-law's house to meet them, so we followed him to Pinalejo (a small town quite a ways away from San Marcos) only to get lost because he didn't know where they actually live...
