August 23, 2023 Off to the field!!!

Hola Amigos, 

Well this has been my last week at the MTC and I leave tomorrow! I have said so many difficult goodbyes but I am so excited to start my mission in Salt Lake City West. I have loved my time at the MTC and feel spiritually prepared for the field! Now I'm excited to see how my mission with further my conversion and growth! 

I have an easy travel day tomorrow and it's amazing how much peace and calm I feel! If you know me you know that ANY change stresses me out, and I can testify that the calm I feel is from my Heavenly Father! He is so aware of each of us! 

Spanish is great! I love the language but I have so much more to improve on! I'm excited to learn and grow so much with Jesucristo! I feel his comfort and peace as I work to improve on the language! It's amazing how we can feel the spirit through the simple but PROFOUND truths of the Evangelio de Jesucristo! 

I will be in Salt Lake City West tomorrow and I can't wait to meet my new Mission President, Companion and Amigos to teach! The MTC has blessed my life and I am forever grateful for the spiritual growth I have seen in my personal relationship with Christ! 

Some spiritual thoughts I loved this week…
● We can stand tall because Christ already shed all the tears of sorrow while all his knees 
● Just make Jesucristo your companion (that's all we need) 
● "Spend less time hating yourself for what you have done, and a lot more time loving Jesus for what he has done" -Brother Wilcox 
● "In the strength of the Lord we can Do and Endure and Overcome all things" -Elder Bednar (please read the talk "In the strength of the Lord" by Elder Bednar it's amazing!!) 
● The Atonement is the ability to access the power of Jesus Christ when we yoke ourselves to his will 
● Connect the Atonement to him: Jesucristo 
● "Prepare to EMBRACE change with Jesucristo" -Sister Johnson 
● "Becoming one with Christ happens one by one, it's a personal process" -Brother Johnson 
● Alma 26:12 My favorite scripture!!

That's all for this week!! I love you all thank you for your continuous love and support!! Jesus loves you so much! Please please make HIM the center of your life! 

Love, 
Hermana Ross

November 25, 2024: My Heart if Full

Image
  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...

November 4, 2024: Prayers for Valencia

Image
  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!...
