Bonjour à tous! I hope you all have had a great week! It's been crazy busy here, but it's been a lot of fun! Since it's been the first week of the transfer, we had all of the trainers with us Monday night and Tuesday. On Tuesday we split off and I took two other sisters to go and work with me, and it was a lot of fun we had a few pass backs and a good, comme dab, a slightly crazy lesson with José. Then Tuesday night the trainers were supposed to sleep with us again, but the bleus (new missionaries) planes got changed so they came and stayed with us and the trainers went to ecully! So on Wednesday we took the blues to the office and worked a little bit. Then Thursday morning we took them over to Ecully for their conference and to meet their trainers! The new bleus are so awesome, and it was a lot of fun to be with them and see them in the first days of their mission:) The end of the week we had some really great lessons, we actually had a few lessons with some new amis that we found in the area book! And two new amis ended up coming to church on Sunday so that was super awesome! Whoot! One day we had a lesson planned but our ami ended up coming an hour later at the same time as our next lesson with a recent convert. Haha so Soeur Lowder and a member ended up teaching Le (the ami) and I, across the room, ended up teaching Fred (the recent convert) ha it was a little crazy but it worked out! Our amis are also doing so good and we had really awesome lessons with them. Today we had a really awesome p-day! A senior missionary couple, the Geddes, invited us and some other missionaries over for a wonderful breakfast of waffles. And then class was in session:) So they both were professors at BYUI, and elder Geddes taught art and religion, and he taught us how to read all of the symbolism in cathedrals. He showed us a really cool presentation, and then we all walked to saint jeans cathedral in Vieux Lyon. It was so cool walking around with him and to hear him explain it! So know everybody I definitely want to go to Cathedrals with all of you when we travel! The cool thing is you can find so much truth, you can just tell they don't have all of it. A really cool story we talked about was Blandine, a young woman who lived about 150 years after Christ here in Lyon. She was a slave and during that time the kings tried to kill all Christians. The story is that she was put in a Roman amphitheater with Lions, but the lions didn't touch her. Later she was martyred, but died as an example of a true Christian. I just realize how thankful I am for all the people who have gone before us to open the doors for having our freedom of religion today! And we can do the incredible work for them and take the names to the temple for our ancestors to show our gratitude! I'm so thankful for this gospel and for that we have the fullness of Christ's gospel restored on this earth! Je vous aime beaucoup! Soeur soffe

My favorite part of the cathedral. If you look on the right side it shows the creation, Adam and Eve and their fall from the garden. On the right it shows Christ's life and his atonement. The bottom circle shows the two meeting and that how we return home to our Heavenly Father is through our savior Jesus Christ! Cool right!?! You can still learn and feel the spirit in these church's, it's different but if you look there is so much to see!
