Addie received her mission call in January, 2023. She opened it in Provo while attending BYU. Mom and Dad, Sister Jaydn and Brother Zak were able to watch her open it live on FaceTime. We were all so touched and excited to find out that Addie was called to serve in the Spain, Barcelona mission. This was especially exciting for Jaydn as she served in this same mission in 2019 and 2020.
Hermana Ross was set apart as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Sunday, July 9th 2023 by President Ryan Stevens of the Lake Elsinore, California Stake.
Well this is it, my last mission email!! Time has flown by. I can't believe my mission is coming to an end this week! I don't want to make this too long but I just want to write a few words of gratitude! Over these 18 months I have truly been changed! I have seen miracles happen every single day and through the Lord and his work I have been so blessed! I have loved every minute of meeting people from all over the world in Salt Lake City and Barcelona Spain! My mission means everything to me and the people that I have met have changed me! Most importantly I have come to know my Savior Jesus Christ! I know he lives, he loves us! Everything that he did was for us and the immense love he has! He is my greatest example and my best friend! I know he has walked with me through every phase of my mission! I want to be better because of him but more often than not he has been there to pick me up when I fall! I love my Heavenly Father and truly have felt his love for me on...
Are you guys ready for this rollercoaster of a week!!! *Also a huge shout out to BYU GO COUGS!!! I don't think I have ever been more tired on my mission but this truly was one of the most spiritual filled weeks!! We had amazing lessons with so many progressing friends, hours of service to help those in Valencia, and so many conferencias including a visit from Elder Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles! AMIGOS Let me brag about my friends real quick. I love them all so much and I truly find so much joy in teaching them!! Valentina and Santiago are getting ready for the wedding and we are completely the form and finalizing everything so updates to come!!

We went to teach this one family, the mom is from Chile and a less active member and the father who is not a member is from Ca...
Hola!!! These past two weeks have been crazy! There has been major flooding in Valencia and in Catarroja which was my first area here in Spain! My heart goes out to all of the people that I know and love!! Please pray for the sweet people of Valencia they need your prayers! The work here in Sabadell has been pretty normal besides all the rain which leads to plenty of canceled lessons but we are still going strong! We have found a few new families in our area and they are progressing so well! First is Precious and here two boys! They are from Nigeria and we get to teach this sweet family in English which is quite a change for me! The first time we met with this sweet family we taught 3 Nefi 11 and they loved it! Precious started tearing up as she shared who Jesucristo was to her! One of her little boys was listening to the lesson with wide eyes fully engaged! I showed him a small painted card of Christ coming to the Americas to show him that Christ is our resurrected Savior!...
