March 4, 2024: Baptism for Luz and Siskatl

 Hola a todos!!

We just keep seeing miracles here in Catarroja so here is a small week recap! 

This week Valencia is filled with Fallas which I'm not sure exactly what they are but the city is full of festivals, parades, and fireworks! It's fun and exciting and all but it makes it a bit more difficult to get the work done! Trains are traveling and people are more interested in spending time with family and friends than talking with the missionaries but it's fine my feelings are a bit hurt but its fine lol

But the Fallas have not been stopping the work! We had luck with finding new people to teach this week and hopefully we can continue to find people who are interested in progressing!! 

Our friend MARY LUZ is on date for March 17th! She has been taught by my compañera Hermana León and the missionaries for about three transfers now! Now that Catarroja is one giant area we have so many amazing friends to teach and Mary Luz is one of them! She is full of energy and so so excited about her baptism!! I have learned so much from her light and example. She finds joy in all things and turns to the Lord in the best and worst times! 

Luz and Siskatl had the most beautiful baptismal service on Sunday and we couldn't be happier for them and their desire to be baptized!! Hermana Peterson (my past compañera) got permission from president to come and see their baptism! It was such a special reunion to see everyone who have been impacted by Luz and Siskatl and their amazing examples! 

I'm super excited to see what this week will bring for the work here in Catarroja! I hope you are all doing so well! Have a incredible semana! God loves you so much :) 

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!...
