Hey everyone!
So this email is a little bittersweet because it's my last week at the MTC :,) I've met some of the most amazing people here and from countries all over the world (very different than Gilbert, Arizona). But I'm also so excited because on Sunday I'm flying to PARIS!!!! This feels so unreal. I've been hearing so much about it for the past six months and now it's actually about to happen?? Wild.
Yes I did play the piano this week and it was wayyy scarier than playing the organ. There were 320 new missionaries and I was feeling great until I got up to the front and they shined a massive spotlight on me. Then, they took it a step further and projected a mega close up of my face to all the missionaries HA. So that made me a little nervous. But I played "We Thank Thee O God, For A Prophet" and it went pretty well. The Presidency said I really brought the Spirit and I almost cried. Love them.
(Note from Danette: Here's a recording of Morgan's musical number:
This week, I've also just been appreciating the things the MTC has to offer before I leave for Paris. I don't know how to cook without a recipe so I don't think they'll be a whole lot of Texas Sheetcake and Chicken Cordon Bleu once I get out of here HA. If anybody receives revelation that they should send me recipes, please follow the prompting. I'm also going to miss my cute little teachers. If anybody can teach me to speak French in six weeks, they deserve a medal. I can't sit still for more than 5 minutes. Lastly, I'm going to miss all the incredible missionaries here. These missionaries have left a lot behind, some more than others. But they bring a spirit and happiness with them that the world needs right now. I've loved everyone I've met here and I'm really gonna miss the MTC (don't cry for me though because PARIS!!!!).
Quick spiritual thought: there's this picture of Jesus and his disciples that I LOVE and I walk by it every day on the way to class. Jesus is with his disciples on hill and they're all sitting down like they're having a lil picnic. In the picture, Jesus and the disciples are just dying of laughter about something. I love how even though we often think of Jesus relating to the hard things in our lives, he also relates to the happy times. If Jesus was with us as missionaries, I think he would laugh with us and be so excited about this work. I know he is smiling in heaven when we teach other people to come unto him. He's not just an abstract figure, he is our brother. He's our friend. I'm grateful to have a friend like Jesus who knows everything I have felt - even my happiness.
"Sister McOmber! Sister McOmber REGARDEZ (look)!! I am not..." *points to okay* *dies laughing* Je l'aime.
Elder Foley found this scarf on the ground. Yes it is a women's scarf. Yes he wears it everywhere. Yes he has been airdropping me pics of him wearing it all week.
Elder Gogarty describing his 2 day journey to Madagascar. Note how Texas, London, and South Africa are all islands.
Regardez!!!! My scriptures now have Soeur McOmber on them!!! I am officially a real missionary.
My favorite New Zealanders (AKA kiwis). 21A was a good one. (had to choose this pic because Elder Randell said "it's a mood" HA).
Love you all! Bonne journee!

**NOTE FROM DANETTE (Morgan's mom):
I got a message from a friend this week that was so fun to get. She was driving by the MTC and spotted Morgan! She said, "There was a big line of cars so I forgot to get her picture for you till after we started driving away haha 
"
After I got the message, I forwarded it to Morgan and she said, "HAHA that’s hilarious. We were running because we were gonna host the new missionaries! Lol"
