April 1, 2024: The Best Gift Ever Given

Feliz Pascua 💛

Have I mentioned how much I love this work, it feels like everyday week we meet the most amazing people!! Figueres is amazing and the most beautiful area ever!! We are close to the border of France so we get to see the countryside but also get to see the beach and explore the most amazing beach towns!! So yeah I'm loving it here and our friends are progressing so well!! 

Jorge is AMAZING!! He has been coming to church for the past few weeks and loves it! He has been reading the Book of Mormon everyday and wants to tell us what he learns everyday! Literally Jorge is perfect so please keep praying for him! 

Tania is incredible and we have been teaching her for a few weeks now! She loves church and already is super close to the members! There are so many people here who are ready to come unto Christ and hear his message! 

Our little group could not be more missionary minded and they are doing everything possible to start a branch here in Figueres! Never in my life have I met more devoted Saints and their love for the Gospel! We don't have a capilla to meet in so each week we rent out a room in a hotel! During these few weeks I have watched as these members sacrifice everything to gather on Sundays and partake of the Sacrament! It doesn't matter where we meet because these members emulate the Gospel of Jesus Christ through their faith and their works! I have felt the spirit so strong with our small group of 35 or so members! They are examples to me of sharing the Light of Christ and daring to stand alone in times of struggle! 

And finally Happy Easter! This year it was a bit different for me because Easter isn't really celebrated here in Spain! In the evening we were able to have Easter dinner with the most lovely couple from Holland!! The Grupmann's showered us with love and some of the best food I have ever eaten! They are famous violinists and travel the world sharing their talents! Literally the sweetest people EVER and now I consider them as my new pair of Grandparents lol! We were able to share an Easter message with them and the spirit was so incredibly strong! 

I am so grateful for Easter Sunday and the chance we get to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ! This truly is the best gift ever given! Because of him we can overcome all! I can testify that with him we can have joy, feel of his redeeming love, and change for the better! I testify that He Lives! He loves us! He is my strength! I have seen his miracles in my life each and every day! I love him and strive to be his worthy servant! I pray for you all and hope you had a wonderful day to reflect on the love of our Savior! 

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...

  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!!

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!...
