![]() I have almost finished my final week in the MTC! My next email will be from France! Ahhh this can't be happening already! Only 3 more days until I am on the plane! Haha we are all so excited! One of the things I am excited about is that I get to sleep on the plane. I have been so tired so I can't wait to take a nap, haha. On Sunday our branch president had some of us go to this special meeting. So my district and some in the other district were all in this room wondering what was going on. Then one of the elders told us that our zone was chosen to help with the Sunday and Tuesday devotionals. We realized that some of us would have to say the pray. And then we realized that we would have to pray in English. We can't pray in English! Haha, we started talking about it and we were picturing going up to the stand with a moment of silence, then turning to President Martino (the MTC President) and ask, "so... how do I start this?" we had not prayed in English for so long that we could only pray in French. So we were joking about it, but we're nervous about it at the same time. Then our branch president came in and told us about it and said, "for the devotional tonight we will have Sister Glazier say the opening prayer..." my eyes went wide and internally I was doing a little scream. Haha, everyone looked at me with the look on their face of "good luck". So the rest of the day I was practicing how to pray in English. Haha, I honestly never thought that that would happen. Anyways, it was devotional time and my companion and I and two other elders from our zone were sitting up on the stand. While waiting for it to start I kept go over how to pray in my head. I was so nervous! Anyways I said the prayer... In English!! Haha, but half way through I started to wonder what language I was speaking (it was English don't worry). It was such a good experience though. It was fun sitting on the stand and talking with the MTC presidency and the speaker (who happened to be from Springville!). I got to do it on Tuesday too because my companion was saying the prayer, so we got to meet a member of the seventy which was cool. ![]() One the highlights of the week was seeing Ashlyn! We got to have lunch together for her birthday. And we just happened to be wearing the same thing, so it is probably obvious that we are sisters. Haha, some of the elders thought she was a missionary. Haha, we had a good goodbye which was nice. For a fun fact, Sœur Hughes likes to interpret dreams. Her grandma was really into dreams so she gave Sœur Hughes all these books about it. So during our meal times we would tell her our dreams and she would interpret them for us. It was very interesting to say the least.
We had our last Skype TRC this week and it was super good. I really enjoy talking to native speakers, even though I don't understand everything they are saying. It makes me so excited to go out into the field! Speaking of the field, we had our In-field orientation where they just told about the things that we will be expected to do. We talked about tracking and how to effectively do it. So in our class later that day we practiced tracking in french and were told how to do it properly with the French people. It was actually pretty good, even though we failed a few times haha. Overall it was a really good week. I am going to miss the MTC and my district, but I am so excited to be in France! I love you all and hope everything is well! Sœur Glazier
