July 8, 2024: Isn't it America Day??

 Hola!! 


First of all, Happy 4th of July to all the Americans out there!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲 I didn't get the chance to celebrate the 4th too much but a few members in Figueres said “feliz cuatro de Julio” or a couple people remembered that is was “America day” and congratulated me for being american I guess lol but other than that it was a pretty normal day! I did get to call my family which made the 4th so special!! I miss my fam so much but getting to call them even for 30 minutes made my day! 


This has been a more challenging week for sure, things fell through, fewer amigos en la capilla but we have also seen so many miracles! We were able to find a ton of new people and they all seem so interested! 


The mission is full of ups and downs but Hermana Chandía and I are pushing through!! I was reading this week in Helaman 5 and of course I came across verse 12 which is one of my favorites!

“And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall” Helaman 5:12 


Jesus Christ truly is our sure foundation! He will never let us fall, he will be there to steady the winds, and calm the storm! I have seen the power of our Redeemer in every moment on my mission! He truly is the way to withstand the hardships of the world! Please continue to turn to him, build your life upon his rock and watch how firm your foundation will become! 


Love you all so much!

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!...
