June 17, 2024: My Chilean Daughter

 Hola!!


This is the start of a new transfer and we have big plans for Figueres!! I am starting my third transfer here and I still love the area and our little but strong group of members! 

I am training for the second time on my mission so I now have another daughter and she is from Chile 🇨🇱 ¡¡VAMOSSS!! She is incredible; such a great missionary! Her name is Hermana Chandía and she is from Santiago Chile! My dad was so excited to hear that I was training a sister from the same area where he served his mission! God really does love to surprise us doesn't he! Training her is honestly a privilege! She is so good and has such a joy for this work and is optimistic and open to everything! 

This last week President Holland and Elder Bednar came and visited my home stake to talk to all the leaders! My mom was able to go and she shared with me a little from President Holland's talk! He shared the experience of the First vision and shared how Satan could not physically harm the young Joseph Smith to stop the Restoration of the church from happening so he used his greatest weapon and tried to bind his tongue so he couldn't speak! President Holland emphasized that Satan tries to use this greatest weapon on all of us and desires to bind our tongues so we don't go out and share our testimony and the truthfulness of this Gospel! 

I was just about in tears as my mom shared these words with me! Little did my mom or President Holland know that there was a Sister Missionary in Spain that really needed to hear those exact words! Satan will try and use his greatest weapon on all of us because he knows how powerful the work of the Lord is and he will do anything to keep it from progressing! So I give the same invitation to all of you that President Holland shared and that is to share this gospel in every moment! Be a disciple of Christ and open your mouth to share your testimony to bring others to the light and joy of this Gospel! Luckily I get the chance to do that everyday and I'm not taking it for granted! I will take every opportunity to share this message with everyone of God's children!! Love you all 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...

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!...
