October 9, 2023: A Transfer of Change

 Hola Amigos,


This week we had transfers and it has been a huge change! I have a new area, new district, new companion, new barrio, whitewashing our area and a bike! So much change all at one and especially after my first transfer I was quite shocked to say the least. 

We had to say bye to all our friends and barrio and this Broke my heart! I LOVE our amigos so much and having to leave them made me shed some tears (a lot of them!) The whole day before transfers we went around and met with all our friends and break the news! Having to say bye to my amazing companions Hermana Edwards and Gonzalez along with all our friends was so hard! I have grown so close to all these amazing people and I'm so grateful God gave me the opportunity to learn this amazing gospel with them! 

Our new area is well… special! We have gotten many rejections and I know that comes with whitewashing, but I can feel the potential! We have seen so many miracles just in the four days of being here! 

Besides the thousands of bugs that hit my face while riding our bikes I really like our area! We split it with a pair of Spanish elders and they are awesome! We still don't have a preach my Gospel app for the area yet but we have seen so many miracles during finding! 

We had seven amazing lessons over the last three days with isn't a lot but to have this many doors open is a miracle for our new area! This message is incredible and I have seen how it can light up someone's life! 

Change is good and yet so difficult I miss my old amigos and pray for them always! When we Trust in the Lord's plan I know we will find peace and answers to our prayer! He has a plan and that plan is perfect, it's perfect and exactly what we need! I'm excited to see how the Lord will continue to bless our little area and nuevos amigos!! 

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!...
