What a week!! So many good things have happened! First of all, I had my first baptism! I didn't realize how much joy I would feel to see (J..) be baptized. Oh it was so good. Haha, we went to her house everyday this week to get all the lessons done and to help her prepare (oh she has a dog and we are best friends). Anyways, she got baptized on Saturday and I got to play the piano which was super fun. Ah it was all so good. When she came out of the water there was this glow about her and it was absolutely beautiful. It was such a beautiful day. Haha, but I never realized how stressful it is to prepare for baptisms, haha! I also had my first district meeting. It was super good. We talked a lot about the Paris temple and how we need to prepare our investigators for the temple. We set a goal as a district to get four baptisms this transfer. So we thought about what investigators could be baptized without thinking about what was holding them back. It was cool because we realized how many of them were ready. And we are doing so good with the goal already! I know that the Lord will provide away for us if we are doing our best, doing everything He asks us to do, and by being obedient. Oh and after the meeting we ate super good food and I don't know what it is called, but it's super good. And the French... Haha it's coming. I make lots of mistakes, but it is helping me. I called a trash can a butterfly, so that was funny. I ask the kids in the ward to help me with my French which is nice. Oh, haha, I tried to talk to this guy on the bus. I told him that I was American and asked if he would help me with my French. He looked at me and was like "ehh" then looked out the window. I was a little confused, because not long after he started to talk to me again. I just need to continue PVL. (parlez votre langue, or speak your language) This week Sœur Calderwood and I went to have dinner with a family in the ward who live in an outerville. I just have to say, it was so pretty! The mountains here are amazing and I am so grateful to be surrounded by them. Ahhh, I feel so blessed! Oh random thing, I saw my first real strike this week. We were trying to visit someone, then we saw this group of people shouting with signs so we ran the other way. But because of it, all the trams were closed which was a bummer. But hey I saw a strike. It was weird. Since I have been here in Grenoble, it has been so busy! We have so many amis and recent converts that I haven't done any real contacting, until this week. I will be honest, I don't like contacting. When we were done I was super down on myself. I was just so confused why no one wanted to talk to us. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Why don't you want to hear what we have to say? The Gospel is amazing and will bless you in so many ways that you can't even imagine it! Why would you not want to learn more! Anyways, I was so confused. But as we went throughout the day, Elder Bednar came to my mind. He said that if we made people accept the Gospel they wouldn't be exercising their agency. They have the choice to listen to us. Some people will probably never accept the Gospel, and that is hard for me to think about because the Gospel has done so much for me. That has been something that I have had to accept this week. It's hard, but it comforts me to know that there are people out there who are ready to hear the Gospel, I just have to find them. Overall France is fantastic and I am learning lots and lots. I am so grateful to be here serving the Lord. I have seen so many tender mercies since I have been here. The people here are also amazing. The members are so good to us. I love Grenoble! -Sœur Glazier If you are curious about Grenoble, HERE are some history/facts about the area Sœur Glazier is serving in. First Macaron in France!
