March 25, 2024: Catarroja ---> Figueres

 Hola!!! 

Well I finally made it out of Catarroja and they booted me to the very northern area of the mission! My area is called Figueres and it is quite a change from Catarroja! The area is BEAUTIFUL! Endless rolling green hills in the middle of the Spain countryside!! We also have a car so that is a huge bonus but the downside is we have to drive an hour each day from Girona (where we have our piso) to Figueres! So hopefully we can find a piso in Figueres so we aren't stuck doing studies and contacto diario in the car lol 


Having to say bye to the members in Catarroja was so hard! The people here have changed my life forever and they are such Christlike examples to me! I will miss them all so so much especially because I'm leaving an incredible Barrio to serve in a grupo with about 25 strong members!! They are truly amazing and I'm really excited to see this area grow! 


Traveling from Valencia to Barcelona on a train ALONE with two 50 pound suitcases and a duffel bag is not super fun! Huge shoutout to the random guy that helped me carry my luggage on to the train! I couldn't have made it without him :)  


I'm super excited to see how this transfer will go!! I am in another trio!!! Third trio in my mission and I love it! I'm with Hermana Bäck and she is from Austria and Hermana Williams who is from Arizona! We will only be a trio for about two weeks until Hermana Williams gets her new companion but I'm going to enjoy the trio life while I can!! I'm excited to make new goals here and help this new area in Figueres grow!! 


Love you all so much! Hope you all had a great week! 


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!! This family is everything to me and I promised them that I would be back for their sealing in a year! I had intercambios with my favorite Hermana Ficklin who is half Spaniard and an icon! 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...

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!...
