I can't believe another week has already gone by! It feels like I was just writing home yesterday, haha. This week was so good! Wahoo! So one of the counselors in our branch makes homemade grape juice and he brought some for us and it was so good! Apparently he has a vineyard in his backyard and there are about 75 different types of grapes. They will pick them and then put them in this huge steamer. I can't remember everything, but I can say that it is so good. They have 9 different types and 6 is my favorite, not that it means anything, but it is so good and that unfortunately is all I can say. I wish I could send some haha. On a sad note, the older district left us and went out into the field. I am going to miss them but I am so excited for them and all the good that they will be doing. But we did get a new district! So the night before they all came we decided to go to bed early, but around 10:30 some sisters opened our door. We were so confused and they were all speaking different languages. All these sisters just started coming into our room and we were like who are you and how did you get in our room?! Anyways we found out this sister that we didn't know about was going to move in with us, so she got a room key and was going to put all of her stuff in the room. Haha, but she didn't know we were in there. But she is super nice. She has been here for 9 weeks to learn English and now she is here for 6 week more weeks to learn French (I think her first language is Japanese but I don't know). Everyone in the new zone is so great and I can't wait to get to know them better! This week we had our first TRC Skype. It was so cool! We got to Skype and share a message with a sister in France. It was fun to actually talk to someone from France. I learned a lot from it, mostly about things that I need to work on, which is good. We also learned head, shoulders, knees, and toes in french. We were all tired one day, so our teacher had us go outside and do it. It was the best! I think it sounds better in french, haha, most things sound better in french. I know I can't pronounce it for you, but I know the words! La tête, les épaules, les genoux, à pied... Les yeux, les oreilles, le bouche, le nez haha. There is also this really good song that is only in the French hymn book called Souviens-toi. It is our favorite song! You all should listen to it, even if you don't understand it, but that's what Google translate is for! On Tuesday Elder M. Russell Ballard came and spoke to us. It was so good! The whole week we were guessing an Apostle was coming because for choir we were singing a special song (Lead Kindly Light). Anyways he talked to us about the most important thing as a missionary, which is to bring others unto Christ. He shared an experience with us about when his son was on a mission. His son emailed him and said that he was having a hard time and didn't feel like he was a successful missionary. Elder Ballard wrote back to his son saying that you are successful when you are doing your very best to bring others to Christ. He also said that every night when you kneel down to pray, tell Heavenly Father that you did your very best to bring others to Christ. I really liked that and it is something I am going to try to keep in mind through out my mission. I have super super good news! WE GOT OUR FLIGHT PLANS TODAY AHHHHHH! We are going to be flying out on Monday the 27th and we leave the MTC in the morning. We are going to be traveling forever! We fly from Salt Lake to Detroit, then from Detroit to Paris, and then Paris to Lyon. We will be traveling all day Monday and we get to Lyon early on Tuesday. We are all so excited!! But we are also a little sad because we won't be flying with the Paris district, but we will be able to say our goodbyes. I am so excited to go out in the field but I am going to miss my district and zone so much. They have become such good friends, and I can't imagine being in the mission field without them. But it will be good. Soeur Hughes, Sœur Thorn and I are already planning a trip to go back to France the August we get back. We are going to have Sœur Hughes show us around England and then take the train to France, haha. I have been so blessed to know all the people here. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for them. Well I think that is everything. Besides all of that I am still going to class, eating food, sleeping, learning French, etc. I hope everything is well! Love Sœur Glazier Learning French! Night time snack. Saying goodbye! Trente trois! With Soeur Thorn Soeur Thorn got to be a ghost buster during service! Travel plans to Lyon!!!
