¡Feliz Año Nuevo!

Alrighttttt well it has been a little while because the holidays got pretty hectic but I'm gonna try and sum it up nice and short for yall. Hope you guys all had a great Christmas season and stayed safe and healthy! New transfer/ NICE apartment Alright so we are about a couple of weeks into the transfer and now Ordyna and I are living with Elder Diaz and Triance in the NICEST apartment I have ever seen. The mission seriously spoiled us this place is amazing and we are so grateful! MIRACLE While we were moving Apartments a man approached us and asked if he could pay us to help him move in to his new apartment. We then introduced ourselves as missionaries and offered to help move him in. We chatted with him and he is such a cool dude. He is like super into trains and he was a train conductor for most of his life. After we helped move him in he insisted on buying us dinner and so we ate and talked for a while longer. After that we had been in good contact and that Sunday he agreed to come to church and he met so many people it was awesome! We have our first official lesson with him coming up and we are excited to start teaching him. MIRACLE #2 We lost contact with some of our investigators Jose and Maria since they've been living with other people. However we found out they got a new apartment and someone let us know where they moved to. So we decided to knock and see what's up. It was late but they gladly welcomed us in and we had such a good chat with them it was amazing. We set a time to come back and teach a lesson and they committed to come to church on Sunday! CHRISTMAS!!! Christmas on the mission was such an amazing experience that I will never forget. My parents sent over so many awesome gifts and I got some pretty sweet stuff from comps and gift exchanges! It has been amazing being a representative of Christ during this time of year. Being able to testify of our savior and the glory of his birth has been an unforgettable experience! Well I feel like every week that goes by I just love this area and the people even more! It's going to be crazy leaving the area of Molalla one day I feel like this is home now Haha! I'm loving the work and I cant wait to keep finding and teaching those who are ready to hear this gospel! Here are some pics from past weeks!

Love you all,

Elder Ross

Hello everyone! Sorry it has been a while but things are better than ever. Recently as I have been serving here in the Oregon City stake we have been focusing a lot on the gathering of Israel. We even received a Gathering Israel Proclomation in the which we have all been commissioned to follow specific invitations to go and gather Israel! One of these invitations is to share our hope and faith filled experiences. In my efforts to be more dilligent in this effort I will be recounting every week one experience from the past little while where we saw the Lord using us as instruments. One experience we had deals with a woman named Nikki. About 3 months ago Nikki had a very vivid dream that told her she needed to return to the Church of Jesus Christ after about 50 years of inactivity. After having this dream she told her roommate Jana about the experience. Flash forward to about 2 weeks later when me and my companion are driving through the city of Canby. As we were driving I spotted a ma...

Yooooo what's up everybody!!! Alright so I apologize but I am realizing I will definitely not have the time to write nice big elaborate emails every week so we are gonna shoot for every 2 weeks haha!!! It seriously is just so crazy how busy we are out here in Molalla OR. We pack our schedules every day to the brim and are putting in the work so I'm loving it!! I feel like this week we have really started to see some awesome results from the work. So here's some highlights from the past couple weeks!!! • So we met with this guy named Jerry. Jerry is a super nice guy and we have been doing yardwork for him. So he left the church when he was 19 and has been inactive for about like 50 years. And he is a great guy but he has been doing a lot of soul searching and doesn't really feel ready to commit to read the BOM. But we had a really good chat with him about it so hopefully he starts opening up to us more! • So with the Spanish side of things it's been really pickin...

Yoooo how's it going everyone? Hope yall are staying safe and doing well! These weeks haven't been too eventful but sadly we got some AWFUL, TERRIBLE news out here in the Hillsboro zone... Elder Riggs, my beloved companion, will be heading to Mexico on the 14th of September. But I am excited for him to finally get to his original mission.  Tundi  We have been playing a crazy game of hide and seek with Tundi because sometimes we find him and then sometimes we will go weeks without seeing him. However, on one specific occasion we were just about to leave his complex until then he drove up in his car. We approached him and he basically told us straight up like what do we want from him. We then proceeded to set up a return appointment where we would explain our purpose and why this message applies to him. We had a POWERFUL lesson on the restoration of the church and his whole attitude shifted and he promptly invited us back for another lesson!  Silvia  We had our first l...
