Exchanges from two weeks ago in Ecully. Wi-fi wasn't working so well, so no pictures from this week. This picture happened to show up in Soeur Glazier's drive a few days after I posted about this particular week. What a week! I finished my first transfer and I'm staying in Grenoble with Sœur Calderwood! Wahoo! We got to celebrate the end of the transfer with a baptism! It was so good! Our ami M...-L... got baptized. We were so excited for her because she was so ready. But we were also said because her daughter J... wasn't able to get baptized with her because her dad says no. But we are continuing to pray for her! Another cool thing about the baptism was that they invited a friend, and he is actually interested. If he comes on Sunday we are going to try and fix a rendez-vous with him. So with the baptism I got to lead the music. While Marie-Laure was changing we sang J...'s favorite primary song, Follow the Prophet. We sang all 50 verses, but I didn't have the words to it. So I was up there leading the music and mouthing random French words. I thought I did good hiding it, until one of our recent converts came up to me and was like, why weren't you singing, haha. You will not believe what little Sœur Glazier did today. Sœur Calderwood and I went to a university and gave a presentation on the church, then had an hour and a half of Q&A. Boy was I nervous. I knew they were going to ask questions that I didn't know the answers to, and the professor even told us he was not going to be easy on us. He said he was going to be the devils advocate. Yikes. So we go and give a presentation to an American religion class and we just gave them the retab. (not sure what "retab" is, maybe a typo???) Then we got the questions. And it wasn't actually so bad. The students just asked genuine questions. They weren't trying to stump us, they just wanted to understand. That doesn't mean that their questions were easy to answer and the professor didn't make it easy either. I'll admit I didn't know the answers to a lot of questions, but that never made me question my testimony. I knew what I knew and I couldn't deny it. Yes I don't know everything, but I do know that the book of Mormon is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that he restored Jesus Christ's true church in the earth. I know that Thomas S. Monson is a living prophet. And even though there are only 16 million of us compared to 7 billion on the earth, I know that it is true. My testimony was really strengthened from it. I know that this is the true church. There is no question that anyone can ask me that will make me question my testimony. -Sœur Glazier
