November 6, 2023: Sleepovers, Concerts, and Zone Conference

 Hola Amigos, 


This week was so busy and there is so much information to cover! I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet! First and foremost I AM LEAVING TO BARCELONA SPAIN ON NOVEMBER 16TH!!!! This week I have experienced so many mixed emotions because it's heartbreaking to leave this mission, these missionaries, and my Amigos from my areas! But, I am so excited to get to Spain and meet the people there! 

Now for the events this week….

ZONE CONFERENCE 
I had my last zone conference with the Salt Lake City West mission! It was so amazing to see my favorite missionaries and be spiritually uplifted! We focused on the importance of Repentance, and I learned so much about Grace and the Savior's Atonement.

HALLOWEEN 
Honestly we didn't do much on Halloween and we had to be in the apartment by 7pm. We bought candy and snacks and just played games all night so it was fun! 

CONSEJO DE ZONA
We had our last Consejo with our Zona and it was super sad to say bye to my zone! I love them all so much and I have learned so much from them! This mission and these missionaries are incredible! 

SLEEPOVER AT THE MISSION HOME 
This week I was finally reunited with my companion after a whole week! We got to sleep over at the mission home! We played card games and ate chocolate chip cookies with President and Hermana Spencer until 12 in the morning!! President Spencer told us sisters to sleep in till 7:30 and we absolutely did! It was such a fun night and I'm convinced I have the most fun mission presidents EVER!! 

LUZ DE LAS NACIONES 
We had the chance to go to the Conference Center at Temple Square and watch Luz de Las Naciones! It was a huge cultural event that celebrated Latino cultures and traditions! There were traditional dances and songs from all different Latino countries! It was amazing to see the Conference Center lit up with colors, dances and music!! 

OSCAR EN FECHA 
We have a friend on date!!! Oscar has been investigating the church for about 3 months when we found him! He has such a testimony of the Gospel and he is so ready to take this step! 

This week was full of change and miracles!! I'm so grateful for this mission and all I have learned! There are so many good moments to come and I am forever grateful for the miracles I get to witness everyday! 

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!...
