We got transfer calls this week and I am staying in Val de Saône with Soeur Driggs! I am so happy! I would be lying if I didn't say we both cried for joy! At least I cried for joy, and I like to think she did too, hehe! Here in Val de Saône we have a car, but it is not just any car. It is called the Beast, at least that is what most of the missionaries here call it. It's always having problems and we are always going to the office to figure things out. Every time we see one of the sisters in the office, she asks us how the Beast is, so we took a picture with the Beast and some baguettes for her. This week was a crazy week! So many of our rendez vous fell through. Each day we tried to make up for it. We knew that we needed to keep going and we believed that it all had a purpose to it. At the end of the week we had had it. And we kind of broke. After trying to put ourselves back together, we decided to go to McDonald's and get an ice cream and just relieve all the stress that we had. Right after our much needed mini break we went out for the rest of the day to find the person who God had prepared for us. We went knocking on doors/ringing door bells and talking to whoever passed us. No one was interested, but we had some amazing conversations with people, so hopefully the next time they see missionaries they will want to talk to them and they will be more prepared! And I must admit, that ice cream really helped. Even though we have days like this I am reminded of a quote that hangs in our bathroom: "Whether or not the invitation is accepted as you invite others to “come and see,” you will feel the approval of the Lord and, with that approval, an added measure of faith to share your beliefs again and again." - Elder Andersen It is so true! Even though not everyone is interested, I still have the desire to snare what I know with others! When I go out talk with others I feel the Lord's approval and thst is all that I need. If I didn't know it was true I wouldn't be out here experiencing all of this. I can't do it without my Savior. I love you all and I hope you all have a great week! - Soeur Glazier With a recent convert in an Ecully bakery Sleepover with a "Tim Tam Slam" From the internet: the best way to eat a Tim Tam cookie is to bite off opposite corners of the biscuit, use it as a straw to slurp up a hot beverage like hot chocolate, and then pop the whole warm, melty treat into their mouth in one go. That, in essence, is the Tim Tam Slam. The flan challenge a few weeks ago at zone conference.
