Some of the trainers All of the new trainers This week was amazing! I got my Bleue! But before I get to that, I got to spend the week in Lyon. At the end of the day Monday we got to go out with the other trainers and do some Contacting which was cool. We got to talk with a lot of cool people, but sadly they are all for the missionaries in Lyon :'( That night half of the trainers stayed at the Lyon STL (sister training leaders) apartment. It was so fun being with so many sisters in the mission, especially since I never get to see them. I also got to meet a lot of them and they are so cool! Tuesday (July 4th) we spent the day contacting again and had a little training on how to be trainers which was good. We also ate McDonald's for dinner with some watermelon. I mean how much more American can you get in France? We ended up singing "The Star Spangled Banner" as well 🇺🇸 The next day was the day that we received our bleus. I was so nervous! We got there early and all the trainers were hiding in the Ecully Chapel having breakfast and a little more training. Then we all got taken up to meet all the bleus. We walked in and I kept thinking how weird this was! So we sit down and each one starts to read where they are going and who their trainer is. After each Sœur I thought "nope that's not mine." Then his one girl comes up and she starts to read her letter and I think, "I think it's her". Then she read Grenoble and I just let out this gasp and flew out of my chair. I ran right up to the front and gave her a big hug. It was so exciting! After that little meeting we got to have lunch and just talk. With Sœur Perry So, my companion is SŒUR PERRY! She is so cool and so nice. She is from Colorado, kind of by the four corners. She went to BYU-ID and she studied horticulture, which is about plants and gardens which is super cool. She is really loving France.
Thursday we stayed in Lyon and did some more contacting, but this time it was with my Bleue. It was kind of funny, there are Chinese elders in Lyon and they told us to find some Chinese amis for them. I put that in the back of my head, but then we were walking around and I see a Chinese guy. So I go up to him and start talking to him in French. He responds in English saying that he doesn't really speak French. I tell him it's OK because we speak English. Then I suddenly ask him if he speaks Chinese, so I could refer him to the Chinese elders. Turns out he is not from China and he doesn't speak Chinese. Boy was I embarrassed, but he still seemed interested so I think we're good. Later that night we traveled back to Grenoble and got dinner and crashed. Friday was our first real missionary day in Grenoble. We actually had a pretty cool experience. We were waiting for a tram, so I thought I would show Sœur Perry the map of Grenoble and help her figure out where things were. While doing that this guy comes up to us to ask us if we are lost. I then explained that I was just showing her the map because it was her first day in Grenoble. That lead into a conversation, which then lead into a gospel conversation. In the end we exchanged phone numbers and are hoping to have a lesson with him this week! So so cool! The Lord is really putting people in our path who are ready to hear the gospel. This week was crazy busy but I enjoyed it. And I am so excited to be doing it all with Sœur Perry. Love you all! -Sœur Glazier
