May 13, 2024: Jorge Testifying to the JW's

Hola!!! 

First of all I just want to say Happy Mother's day to all the incredible women who have been role models in my life! And especially to my mom who has supported and lifted me up at every point in my life!! Love you so much mom! 

This week was super busy but we are working super hard and preparing Jorge for his baptism on the 25th of May!! Let me just brag about Jorge for a moment. He is amazing!! We have been teaching him for a VERY long time! He has been struggling with the word of wisdom for a while now but has such a huge desire to change and give his life to the Lord! He is such an example of perseverance and truly has such a love for this Gospel! 

We had a few lessons with him last week and during one of our video calls he wanted to show us something! He pulls out this bag from ZARA and showed us his baptism clothes that he bought 🥹 Here in Spain we don't have very nice baptismal clothes so he wanted to buy new ones so he could look his best for his baptism!! Another funny story with Jorge, he had a Jehova's Witness knock on his door and he literally bore his testimony to this random guy about how he was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (which he isn't yet) but he was so happy to share with this Jehovas's Witness his beliefs! He is already a missionary and loves this Gospel so much!! Please keep praying for Jorge!!!

Our friends are doing well and we are just working as hard as we can each day! I truly do love the mission and I'm so grateful for the experiences I get to have!! Girona has flower festivals all this week so I got to enjoy this gorgeous area covered with flowers and so so many tourists!! 

This week I saw the importance and power of testimonies! I know that when we share our testimony it brings the spirit and the spirit testifies of Christ and his perfect message! I can testify that the power of the spirit is real and it can change us for the better! It can testify and touch the hearts of those we teach!! 

Have such a great week!! Praying for you all!! 

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...

I don't think I have ever been more tired on my mission but this truly was one of the most spiritual filled weeks!!

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!...
