February 9, 2018 Last full week at MTC

Hello family and friends,
This was my last full week in MTC. We had new practice investigators this week. The first girl seemed really  familiar. It turns out that she is one of the investigators  that we taught our first day at the MTC with a big group of missionaries. Our other investigator is pregnant and wants to know what church to raise her child in. Our lessons went pretty good. We had a devotional on Tuesday with a general authority whose first language is Spanish, he and his wife were a little hard to understand but they shared a great message. We are now the most experienced missionaries in our zone and are the next ones to leave the MTC.  We had a training were the teachers put on a play for us about working with members. One of the Elders in it was similar to Elder Calhone in the best two years, it was funny. 

The highlight of the week was being host missionaries for the new missionaries. I got to host three Sisters. They all seemed excited to b3 at the MTC and did not cry that much. One of the Sisters was going to Illinois, one visa waiting to go to Brazil, and another going to Canada. The Sister going to Canada was not assigned a companion and when I sow her at dinner the day after hosting she still did not have a companion. It was fun to help them get settled in. One of the girls we had to carry her bags up four flights of stairs because we went in the door without the elevator. So it was good exercise carrying all the bags. 

Today we are going to go to the temple again after we do library and finish writing. The Provo temple is a lot bigger than the Fort Collins temple.

Love,
Sister Vernon

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 ...
