Avila

Mar 9 2026 Wow what is up everybody!! Got some castles and interesting stuff in the google photos now haha! Join up Trainer/Area So we got here and went to the church first. Everyone was exhausted and trying not to sleep in the car, but we had stuff to do. We set up our phones and our cards so we could go out and do the work. We toured Spain and wow it's incredible. Architecture is one of a kind. We had a little breakfast thing and got to know some of the trainers! Met some goats like Elder Haney, Mcintyre, Denning, Moody. Wow literally everyone there was just so nice and so excited to do the work. When we got back to the church we sat down and one by one individually met our trainers. I was so scared and they have them wait around a corner for us. When I was called up I turn around the corner, and the legend Elder Luekenga is around the corner😆So hyped to be with him and we are opening up Ávila!!! Also our dad's served the same mission 27 years ago and knew of eachother so ...

Missionaries??

March 2 2026  What is up everyone!!  This has been an amazing week, and my last one in the MTC! I am currently in the Atlanta Airport and feeling so incredibly blessed for this opportunity to serve others. When in the Salt Lake Airport, a young boy looked at me and said " MOM MISSIONARIES!!!" It brought me so much joy and showed me the power wearing this tag has! Can't wait for the people in Spain to look at us and go "Ay caramba, misioneros"  My last week in the MTC has definitely been memorable. Saying goodbye to all of my district and friends was definitely hard, and it made me think of my friends and family at BYU and in California. My teacher and I made a pact to play basketball when I get back, so I gotta start prepping to smoke him. I'll probably get dunked on when we get back he's like 6'5  check out legendary Hermano Larkin down below! ALSO I SAW THE GOAT THIS WEEK!!! Scott  mcmillan  has returned and came by to say goodbye before another 2 ...

FEB 28 2026  Hope everyone is doing FANTASTIC and i miss everyone!! This week has been so packed with so many miracles and a lot of scripture study/spansh study. Last week we switched to only Spanish, and our teachers think it's best if we only try speaking in Spanish for the remainder of our time here. Little annoying at times but it is super helpful. I really have to think now when someone asks a real question. Like why am I personally serving a mission   I also have the incredible opportunity to go to the Provo City Temple this afternoon! Pop out  I love this temple and it'll be good to get out of the MTC for a second. I also got the opportunity to run into some of the GOATS from BYU!!! Shoutout Carter, both Avas, Addy, McKinlay, Rachel and Kate! For real seeing everyone made my week and it was such a blessing how everything worked out. Shoutout everyone from BYU love you all More blessings of the week: Got a 12 can of baja blast Copped some ties from Elder Dias So man...

17 Feb 2026 What is up everyone! Okay for the title, I was just thinking of this song. Everyone go listen to it I miss it so much. It has been a great week at the MTC, and my spanish has definitely been improving. The days are getting repetitive and feel slow but weeks go by fast. I couldn't believe it but I have been a missionary for 1 month now!! LETS GO!!! Boy oh boy the adventures in here are so fun. We copped a mini fridge from some elders, and now we have cold drinks. BOOYAH! Its actually so clutch🙏 Sad news of the week... Unfortunately, I had to say some goodbyes to the goats. Shoutout Elder PaePae, Wright, Deer, Barney, Bingham, Call, and Amato. Yall were for real a huge light and gonna do amazing things out there. I also got DEATHLY ILL this past week😭😭 There is a plague going around the MTC, and it is bad. Hopefully the worse passed but I was dying Monday morning. But I am okay now. God is good! Spiritual Thought for the week: Last night, we had the amazing opp...

Provo MTC "Almost Killed Someone"

11 Feb 2026 Okay quick story... a couple days ago during our break my companion and I tried rainbowing a metal water bottle. Basically popping it up above our heads. And all the sudden I got it! But it went STRAIGHT BACKWARDS and almost domed one of the sisters right in the face. Whoops... super funny though everyone was good and we were all laughing. Here's a video I have been so busy with language and studying the gospel and its amazing! Very draining though I am so tired now. Days go slow, but the week has flown by. My language teacher is a big fan of my accent and wants to match ties with me because we have the same one😛 we are pretty much best friends now. I also learned a new phrase "LA PELOTA DE FUEGO" Life here is just so fun and I'm so excited to share the joy of the gospel with others. During our branch prayers we all just end up laughing and can't focus the whole time. Also what's with the no snow here?? I was fully expecting to be walking thr...
