February 27, 2018 2nd week in the field- DOGS!

This week was busy and great. We are getting a lot of new investigators. One is a lady named Josie,  I think I wrote a bit about her last week. We found her through tracting. We had dinner with a family in the ward this week that Josie said she knew from high school. We told them about Josie and they were really excited because they took her to seminary and stuff when she was in high school. We took the members with us to a lesson with Josie and her husband and the Spirit was really strong. It was great to see their reunion. We invited them to work towards baptism and they accepted! 
We also had a good lesson with a girl named Vanessa she has two young kids and is a cute family. 

We had exchanges this week and Sister Walters went to a different area and Sister Grant and I stayed here with Sister Overson we did a lot of tracting with her. I think some of the people did not notice when we came back with a different Sister because both Sister Walters and Overson have red hair. 
  
Apparently it has been really cold this week about with it being around 60 degrees. It is kind of funny to see everyone wearing big coats when it is warm and sunny, although I will probably be to hot when it gets warmer. 

We had a scary run in with some dogs. We walked about to a house that had five big dogs all sitting on the porch not hooked up at all. Sister Grant and I saw them and started to back up. Sister Walters has a fearless love of dogs and kept going forward. They ran up to us and were barking really hard. I remembered Cory's experience in West Yellowstone where he ran away from a dog so I knew to stand my ground. I stood there and told the dogs no no. Sister Grant was telling Sister Walters to come back and for me not to tell the dogs no. Eventually the owner came out and called the dogs off. I was grateful that we were alright and I feel that we were protected. 
Love,
Sister Vernon

 Some people didn't know we had a different sister with us when we did exchanges

July 21, 2019 WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ON MY MISSION

July 21, 2019- COMPLETING MISSION-WHAT I HAVE LEARNED! Next week I will complete my 18 month mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a full time representative of the Lord I have learned and gained a lot of new experiences. This post is a list of 18 things that I have learned during the past 18 months. 1. Jesus Christ is a real person with a real personality just like any of us. I knew and accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior before my mission. I have come to learn that yes he is perfect, but he is also understanding, compassionate, joyful, patient, and human. I understand, know and love Him better.  3 Nephi 27:27 "Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am." 3 Nephi 27:27 John 11:36 "Jesus wept" 2. Repentance. I have learned how to more fully access the healing power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him str...

New companion and area

May 27, 2019 ELLAINA Last Monday we sent Sister Rigby home and said goodbye to the Calavera ward. I then packed and got ready to come to Morgan Hill. A member drove me up to the new area. I was expecting my companion to already be here, but no one could be her companion in the time that she waited in Temecula so she was still in her old area. The member that drove me stayed until she got here. We did not really know what to do the first day because the area book on our phones did not update to the new area until the second day. So we mostly cleaned the apartment and talked. We then got the area book and have been able to work and figure out were our area is. It is one really big hill that is hard to bike up, but is fun to bike down. So it is easier on the way home.  We are starting to figure out were everything is and who we are working with. It was pretty confusing at first. We went to mutual and meet the ward mission leader and some people in the ward. It is a pretty big ward ...

We are having a Family Home Evening lesson tonight so we made the armo r of God for it. The light saber was just in our apartment. We made a breastplate too, but Sister Henrie was still working on it when I took the picture  A place that we walk by a lot with a bunch of potted plants. June 28, 2018 Hello,  I got my first Media Referrals this week, or people that have said they will meet with the missionaries on  mormon.org . The first one we got went to an address that did not exist. We were able to text the person and get his address and left the Bible he requested at his house because he was not there when he said he would be. We got a 2nd online Referral and he says he wants to become a Mormon. Unfortunately, he lives slightly outside our ward.  We had Zone Conference this week in Carlsbad. It was good we discussed contacting and how to have good interactions with members to inspire them to do missionary work. We also had Mission Presiden...
