EFY!!!

EFY was so much fun!!!!!! I made so many friends. I also felt the spirit there to. Even though I didn't understand much but you can still feel the spirit.That is so cool!! After efy I could speak a lot more spanish than I did before EFY. I liked EFY Spain more than EFY Provo!!!!
This is my group we spend all of our time with our groups. I am glad that I got in that group. The groupd was really nice. Some of the people knew engish very well and could help translate for me and help me learn spanish.







This is one of the girls I met at efy. Her name was Andrea. We both had red tongues and we both wanted a picture of it. :)












We had a young men meeting. We had two meetings. One we had a serious talk. The other was answering questions that girls had about guys. Then getting answers to some of our questions.




Thats me and Andrea and the last dance. It was in this Gym like thing and we had huge speakers and great songs. The dances were the best. EFY was the best and a great opportunity!!!!!!!

Morocco






I went to morocco wednesday night and got in at around 830. We went to our hotel and then wqlked around for a while and got some dinner. We ate lamb and bread. Then the next day we took a tour and this is the first thing we on the tour it is a mask. The people there are mostly muslim.








This is the square. They had snake charmers and different kind of things in the square. There were a lot of shops.











This was in the square. Some people had monkeys on a chain and would walk around trying to get people to take pictures with them. In morocco if you want a picture with someone you have to pay for the picture. So I decided to take a picture with a monkey.











We went to a museum during the tour and there was a room full of swords like these.












This was the chandeliers in the main room it is really huge and magnifacent.












This was at the museum. I really like all the artwork and how precise the whole thing is done. You can tell that the people who worked on this worked a long time on it. They used stencils to make this. They didn't have tools that did it for you.








This was in a musuem . It used to be inside a mask but the moved it into this musuem. I thought it was amazing because it had a lot of that stencil work that took forever. It is amazing what people can do with just a few things.











We went to a shop that sold scarfs/turbans. So the guy wanted us to buy a truban so he showed us how to put one on.












We took a carriage ride to the square and back.












We saw a mcdonald's there and thought it was cool that it was in english and arabic.








Terra mitica

One day we went to a theme park that was called Terra Mitica. It was really fun. I went with my two cousins and their friend, named Damien. It was a really fun theme park.

Missionaries



On friday, July 16th, I went with the missionaries to their teaching appointments and spent all morning and part of the afternoon with them. It was a great opportunity. I really liked doing that.

Madrid







After Toledo we went to Madrid. In madrid we went to eclipse (the third movie in the twilight series). Then we went to this palace off to the right. The palace is where the rulers and other head authorities meet and talk about important things.








Next to the palace was this cathedral. This cathehdral was really nice. It looked newer but it is an olld cathedral.











In madrid we went to the temple. It was an awesome experience. The temple was so nice and it was really cool inside.















Thats the temple all lit up at night.

Toledo




This was on our way to to toledo these windmills are in a famous story called Don Quijote (don key ho tay). Its about this guy who thought he was a knight. When he saw one of these windmills he thought it was a giant monster and started to attack the windmill. So those are the windmills in the story.








This is a gate into toledo. Toledo is a medival city tat is the capitol of swords and gold. There is alot of different sword shops and alot of gold bracelets and different things made out of gold.






Right behind the gate is this building. I thought it looked really cool so i took the picture of it.









When we were in toledo we took this train ride tour that showed us around toledo. This is one of the views we saw during that train ride.












This is another thing we saw during the train ride.













This is a door into a cathedral. I liked all the architectural artwork around the doors.











Also, when we were in toledo we went to a torture musuem. There was the guillotine which was used to chop peoples head off.















This is another of the torturing devices. The would set the person on the chair and the chair has really sharp spikes on it. They would then ask the person a question and if the person didn't answer the question they would push down on there leg or other parts of the body and the spikes would go into the part of the body.
