I got to start this week off in Lyon! My companion, Sœur Vandroux, was invited to MLC (missionary leadership council) so I got to go and spend the day in Lyon. It was like a mini exchange with some of the soeurs serving in Lyon. It was probably one of the craziest days I have had on the mission. We pretty much spent the day hopping from metro to metro. But I was able to have a really good patisserie so it made up for the crazy day .
Once we got back to Grenoble we had a lesson with our new ami Pr.... We decided to talk about the plan of salvation. So we are going through it and we mention baptism and he just starts to say that he needs to be baptized. We were a little baffled, and just, "OK, then will you follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized on June 17?" and without hesitation he said YES!! We are so excited for him. He is like a miracle that fell from the sky! We also had district meeting this week which was super good. We talked a lot about baptism and how important it is for us to invite our ami's to baptism. We also focused on chapter 9 of Preach my Gospel about finding people to teach. Right now we need to find new amis. I have been so blessed on my mission to have so many people ready to be taught and be baptized, but the teaching pool is starting to shrink because they are getting baptized. So District meeting was a good pick me up for me on what I can do to help find those who are ready to hear the gospel. It can be discouraging sometimes and it feels like no one wants to listen to us. But I am reminded of Ammon (or Alma) saying that they are out serving a mission to find the few that are ready to hear the gospel. That has been helping me a lot this transfer. Yes not everyone wants to listen to us, but there are a few. And those few need to hear gospel of Jesus Christ. Those few are going to bring us some of the happiest experiences on the mission. I feel like the Lord is really testing me this week though. So many of our recent converts have not been answering us, and it has been so hard for me. I am constantly worried about them, but I have to remember that they have their agency. And sometimes they will go through hard times that I can not help them with. Those are the times when I really pray and hope that they will continue to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and that they are able to remember everything that they have learned and felt with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Speaking of recent converts, our recent convert Pa... had her baby! He is so tiny and cute! It was so hard to tell her that we couldn't hold him. Ugh he was just so cute! Anyways, everything is good here in France. I have been learning a lot and I have been growing a lot. I'm am so grateful for my Savior and all He has done for me. He has been blessing me so much and I don't know how I can thank Him for everything. My relationship with my Savior has been growing as I turn to Him in the good times, the sad times, and the hard times. I know the church is true! -Sœur Glazier
