Provo MTC Week 1

4 Feb 2026 Hola a todos! This has been my first week in the Provo MTC and it has been amazing. For those who don't know, the MTC is a place where all missionaries go to learn about the gospel and deepen their knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I will be here for 6 weeks to learn Spanish as well. Imma be real, the food here is actually solid and not clapped. I met my companions and district. They are all so amazing and so excited to grow together. In class, my companion Elder Helton likes to giggle and just make stupid faces and I always laugh. He said "man if I were to knock on someone's door, I'd understand if they close the door in my face" and I BURST out laughing. This place brings pure joy and a true understanding of this eternal happiness God wants everyone to feel. The hardest thing for me is missing family and friends. Seeing some of you at BYU before I left was such a special experience, and I am so grateful for you all. Some people don't realize the huge impact they have had on me, so I am so grateful for everyone!!! ALSO MUSIC... wow I spent probably 2 hours yesterday trying to think about that verse from Flashing Lights by Kanye. "Hey mona lisa, come home you know you can't Rome without Ceasar." What a bar. Don't know why I was tripping bout it but it's chill. Anyways I also found out my spanish is COOKED. Oh my goodness I thought I knew a little, and then I became friends with a Chilean who only speaks Spanish. He was teaching me and I could understand but wow I cannot speak back.But that's what it's about! Learning and growing and doing better daily. I am so grateful for the teachers who bring the spirit and are patient with us when teaching these principles. I also met a Samoan who teaches me phrases and he is so wholesome. He taught me "I love you" so now I can say it all of you!! Ou te alofa ia te outou uma! Anyways, I miss and love everyone and hope you all can feel the Lords love in your lives! This week I have been really focusing on how the Lord blessus us and how deeply he understands and cares for us. Quick verse for everyone to read. Mosiah 2:22 says, And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you. I know that if we follow God and do as he instructs, he blesses you and helps you. Trust in God everyone!! And EMAIL ME I want to hear abour everyones lives and experiences! LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Farewell Talk

FAREWELL - January 18 2026 Grammy, Grampy, Michelle, Turin, Lindsey, Richard, the Maddox Family and Justin, Gabe, Morgan and Owen came from Northgate. We had nachos afterward. It was a fun day. Here is my talk..... "Good morning, brothers and sisters. My name is Tyler McMillan. I have been in this ward for around five years now and will be set apart as a missionary tonight. I was called to serve in the Spain Madrid North Mission, and I cannot wait to live among the people of Spain and help bring them closer to the Lord. When I think of what and who has inspired me to serve a mission, it includes several people and experiences that can be summed up in one scripture. When the Lord was asked which commandment was the greatest, Jesus replied: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” President Nelson said, “The L...

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.
