The highlight of this week was definitely skyping home. An hour is just too short! We started this week off with zone conference so we got to go down to Lyon. Our focus was on the temple and eternal marriage since the Paris temple is getting dedicated next Sunday!!! It was a great conference. I loved talking about family history and how important it is to help others find names to take to the temple. After that we were off on exchange! I was blessed to spend the day with Sœur Filbrandt! She is an amazing missionary. At the end of our first day we were so thirsty, so we went to find a drink at this sketchy place. I grabbed my sweety drink and we go to pay, and the cashier starts speaking English saying, "your my sister?" he said it over and over again and we kept responding, "yes, and you're our brother". Haha, I think that was the only sentence he knew in English. Sœur Calderwood and I had a miracle this week! We went to stop by a less active and we rang the doorbell and said, "hi it's the sister missionaries!" and she responsed, "uh no". We were a little upset, and we left talking about why she always says no to us when the first time we went she was so nice. As we are walking we see a lady in a wheelchair just enjoying the day. We said hi and the next thing I know we are having a conversation with her and then she brings us in her house. We come in and there are all these ladies. It was kind of overwhelming at first. But they were all so nice and were asking all these questions about missionaries. It was so cool. We left thinking, what just happened? It was a wonderful tender mercy. We had another lesson this week with P...'s friend J..-C... and it was really good. He wants to know if the church is true, and he said he believes the Book of Mormon is true. But he is expecting to receive a big sign from the Holy Ghost. It was really cool to have P... there. He bore his testimony of the Book of Mormon and how he received an answer that it was true through the Holy Ghost and he shared his experience. It was so cool to hear that from him after he has been investigating the church for a couple of months. I love seeing people change and coming to know the Lord! Today for P-day we went to a castle (Château de Vizille) where they started the French Revolutionary war. Inside the castle is a museum of the war which is really cool. And outside the castle are these beautiful gardens and all these trees. It is huge! And they have swans wondering around which is super cool. I love outer villes! Well, this is the last week of my second transfer which seems crazy! I have almost been on the mission for 4 months! It is going by faster than I thought. I'm doing my best to live every moment before it goes away. I love being on the mission and I love how much I have been growing. I have learned so much here and I can't wait to learn more! Have a wonderful week! -Sœur Glazier Castle in Vizille Castle Museum of the French Revolution Inside the Castle It felt like I was in Edenbrooke! View from the Castle
