Praying before my first exchange. Bonjour! It's another beautiful day here in Grenoble! And the Missionary life is fantastic! This week was full of new things! So Tuesday we got invited to have dinner at a members house with our recent convert J.... It was fun helping them make dinner. They do Mashed potatoes totally different and they make their own apple sauce which is cool. Then they pulled out this meat thing. And we were like what is that? And they were like we aren't telling you until you eat it. We were so nervous! And let me tell you, it was nothing like meat. It was weird and I couldn't even cut it because it kept popping out from under my fork! Anyways I took a bite and it was gross. And we found out that it was pig blood. PIG BLOOD!! I ATE PIG BLOOD!! Eww. After that I ate like 5 chocolate bars just to try to get the taste out of my mouth. Wednesday was my fist zone conference! So we got on the train and headed to Lyon and it was so fun! We talked a lot about hope and how we need to have hope if we want our amis to have hope. It was super good. And I got to meet a lot of new missionaries which was fun! And I got to see Elder Thomas from my MTC district! Afterwards I went on my first exchange. Haha it was funny. Sœur Merrill and I were getting ready to leave so we said a prayer at the door. While we were praying it got really quiet and we could hear the other missionaries whispering. After the prayer we look up to so all these missionaries huddled together waving with Sœur Calderwood, running back from taking a picture of us, haha. Anyways I had my exchange in Ecully which is pretty different from Grenoble, but it was so pretty and I got to meet a lot of cool people. Friday we went out to lunch with our American friend! She is so amazing! And she is coming to family home evening tonight! Ahhh I am so sparked! We also met with a less active who is from Ireland. She is so hilarious and she loves to talk! Haha we thought we would never leave! But she is awesome. Sunday was so crazy. We went to church and two people showed up wanting us to help them and teach them. Wahoo! Yeah we will teach you! It was so cool. Oh funny story. So we had daylight savings, and we reminded the elders, which turned into a zone reminder, and then a mission reminder haha. That actually doesn't sound funny, but Sœur Calderwood and I were dying! P day was awesome today! We all hiked up la Bastille which is a huge mountain. We wanted to take the bubbles up, but they are closed on Mondays :( but it was a super good hike. Haha it was like 300 steps but the view was totally worth it. Being at the top I couldn't believe how big Grenoble is. I am here with 5 other missionaries to help this huge city! Woah. Anyways it was awesome and I think I'm sun burnt now so that is fun. I think that is all, haha I can never remember what happens when. So much happens in a day that it feels like a month. It's not a bad thing it's just a lot. Haha but I am enjoying every minute of it. Oh and I love chocolate and biscoff. The McDonald's here has really good biscoff ice cream stuff. Anyways, this week is so packed with rendez-vous and I am so excited! We are going to start preparing for another baptism for our ami M.... for the 8th! Yep, I think that is all! I love being a missionary! -Sœur Glazier I'm near the top!

I love seeing everything you are seeing! It is beautiful there especially that hike. But, the pig blood experience-was yeah, an experience! I wondered why they eat it and how it coagulates or stays together. Ha. But then comes the good chocolate! Grandpa Ray didn't like chocolate-but I agree...chocolate is good. Keep up the good work! You are making a difference. 🐖🍫
