Email 14/11/16 Hello everybody, Today’s email is going to be brief as today everything is already super crazy with the transfers that are happening this week. Already, Elder Catmull and I have parted ways as he is going to the mission home in Málaga to pick up the new missionary that he will be training.…

Email 7/11/16 Hello everybody, Another week has passed, and I am still here, as a missionary, serving in Elche. This is the last week of the transfer, however, so all of that could change very soon, but of course, we will never know for sure until next Monday. In my last email, I wrote about…

Email 31/10/16 Hello everybody, Happy Halloween! I’m sure some of you are wondering if Halloween is celebrated in Spain. It is, but it’s definitely not as big of a holiday as in the United States. Let me explain: First, trick-or-treating isn’t a practice since the vast majority of people live in flats rather than houses.…

Email 24/10/16 Hello everybody, First, I want to express my deepest sympathies to family of Scott Maser. The news of his passing has saddened me deeply. Brother Maser was an important mentor, teacher, and leader during my teenaged years. When I was receiving my Eagle Scout award, he was the immediate first choice in my…

Email 17/10/16 Hello everybody, It has been quite the week. Here are some of the reasons why: First, we had our monthly Zone Meeting on Thursday. That’s more or less an all day event since it warrants a train ride to Alicante. It also rained on Thursday which is only the second time it’s rained…

My new companion, Elder Catmull, is a really good missionary. He has just over a year in the mission. He also speaks…

Email 3/10/16 Hello everybody, I hope that all of you have had a good start to the month and that all is going well with your school, work, missions, or whatever else you might be doing. Today is already the first day of my third transfer in the mission field. For a lot of reasons,…

Email 27/9/16 Hello everybody, First, excuse the fact that this is a day late; we switched our p-day this week so we could have the chance to visit a Viking museum in Alicante; all of the museums are closed on Mondays. I’m sure I’ll have pictures from that next week. Anyway, I try to keep…

Email 19/9/16 Hello everybody, On Tuesday, I had my first Zone Conference in Murcia. A zone conference consists of approximately half of the the 200 missionaries in the mission. They occur every other transfer cycle. Elder W. Craig Zwick, a General Authority Seventy of the church is touring all three of the missions in Spain,…

Email 12/9/16 Hello everybody, I want to share a quote from President Monson. This was in the first presidency message from the June 1997 Ensign entitled “The Spirit Giveth Life” (coincidentally the same month and year that I was born in, I just realized). President Monson is describing a visit he made to the main…
