Hey everyone!! Wowowowow. I have so much to say. My email last week was pretty short BUT.  here I am to share the amazing things I've experienced the past couple of weeks.   Saying goodbye to the people of Wyoming, Michigan ripped my heart out. I miss that place and those people with everything in me. The way I grew those 6 months in that area was so so incredible. The Lord taught me many things. I had an incredible companion, sis mamata, who taught me what it means to do things right beside our Savior. That we don't need to to it alone. Everything that's asked of us is possible because of Him!! I've learned that I  don't need to beat myself up when I make a little mistake. I can move forward with peace and happiness because Christ is my Savior! He has suffered for me and for you. He wants us to rejoice in Him. In Wyoming I learned of the blessing of daily repentance. How cool is it that we have the opportunity to move forward. To not be stuck in our same mistakes o...

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind! I'm leaving Wyoming:( I'm so sad! Saying goodbye to these members and the people here was so sad. I love them all with my whole soul. I experienced many tender  mercies this past weekend.  I am devastated to leave sis mamata. She has changed my life and I'm eternally grateful for her! I'm headed back to the North! Up to Kalkaska. I'm excited for this new adventure!!  We get to receive Elder soares on Saturday. I can't wait!! Just want to share my testimony that I know our Savior lives. He loves us.  I was reading in 1 Nephi 17 and was caught by the thought that when Nephi's brothers made fun of Him and told him he couldn't build the ship, He didn't care what they thought. He worked by the authority of God and went forward in faith.  None of us should care what others think of were doing what God needs.  I love you all!  Sis Ross 

Wow everyone. I can't even tell you how grateful i am to know that God speaks through a living prophet today. This general conference was one of the most powerful of my life. I felt like God directly answered every one of my questions. And I know that wouldn't happen if President Russell M. Nelson and the leaders of the church weren't called of God. I know with all my heart that God speaks through them and that their words are His. I have been so blessed in my life as I've striven to follow their teachings. I loved telling everyone we met about the fact that there's a living prophet. It was so exciting and my testimony of him grew even more! Sis mamata and I got to watch conference by ourselves In our apartment with all our snacks and let me tell you it was the greatest thing!! Both of us received so much revelation that I don't think we would've been able to receive if we had watched with other missionaries or friends.  They talked so so much about missiona...
