P-day is finally here! I have been waiting for this since Saturday! Haha. We have started to teach an investigator in French. Yes, in French. Yes, I don't speak French, haha. I never know what he is saying, but I can pick out a few words. We have taught him five times now, and each time either gets better or worse, haha, I guess that means we are learning. With French, I have been learning a lot, even more than I think I am. Soeur Hughes told one of our teachers that he looked like Marty McFly from Back to the Future (which he does) and he said he gets told he looks like a lot of different people but he wouldn't tell us who. So we begged him to tell us. We ended up making a deal with him as a district that he would tell us the others if we only spoke in French for an hour. We did it and I learned so much in that hour! Since then we try to only speak in French for about an hour a day. I personal talk like a caveman though, haha. The first Sunday we had was wonderful! I love Sundays here at the MTC. My favorite part is the devotional and choir. Haha, yes I joined the choir here. I really like it. The choir director always says amazing things and he is so hilarious. We recently sang Joseph Smiths first pray. He told us that the song was actually written by a missionary, which I thought was really interesting. He also brought a book and shared some stories with us that others wrote about Joseph Smith. One of them was from someone in the government who didn't like Joseph Smith, but 20 years after Joseph Smith died he said that Joseph Smith will be the most influential man in our day and the days to come. I found that so interesting. Even though he didn't like Joseph Smith, he knew what kind of a man he was. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and translated the Book of Mormon. I am so grateful for him and his example to me as a missionary. We also got to watch the Missionary Broadcast which was amazing! We got to hear the Missionary Executive Council--including Elder Oaks, Elder Bednar, and Elder Anderson--and hear them talk about us. As some of you may know, they changed the missionary daily schedule, which I am so happy about! One of the reasons is that we can go to bed sooner and classes end sooner! Now we get to go to bed between 9:30 and 10:30! We also get to choose when we do what we need to do. We get to exercise more of our agency. They also announced a change in the key indicators. Now we only report 4 things to our president. I can't remember them unfortunately haha. Unfortunately Soeur Hughes has fallen to the French curse. She had to go to the doctors and get some prescriptions so we got to go on a little field trip to BYU. I am determined not to get sick! I am constantly putting hand sanitizer on haha. I honestly can't remember what else has happened this week. I ran into Sam Roper which was amazing. It is always fun to see a familiar face. Oh one of the counselors in my branch is from Mapleton and I used to clean his shirts when I worked at Allens Cleaners. I told them Ashlyn works there, so warn Ashlyn that someone might say hi to her. Haha that might be all. Love you all! Love, Soeur Glazier ![]() The French Zone. I am hidden.
