Beautiful Art

This is my first week typing on a computer instead of my phone, it is a little bit easier to type on the computer. At the beginning of the week we had exchanges and Sister Walters and I were with Sister Portez. We did a lot of service together. We helped a lady in our ward clean. She has someone moving in with them and wants more open space. She is a painter and her entire basement was full of paintings most of which she is going to throw away. We helped her take them outside next to her dumpster. They were beautiful paintings, but you cannot keep everything.

We had a family home evening with Josie, James and their children at a member's house. It was great! The member family lead the lesson and explained what a Family Home Evening is. They also came to church again this week. I think that James and their son are also going to go on a Scout Camp out with the Young Men. It is amazing how the ward is welcoming them in. 

On Monday we were going to teach a girl at a members house. That appointment fell through so we taught the members. We invited them to find someone to share the gospel with and they accepted. We had dinner with them later in the week and they had a friend there for us to teach. So it is great how the Lord works. 

We had interviews with President Thomas this week, and went over our Facebook pages and learned how we need to have them set up. 

We were busy this week and only worked on tracting one long street and we still are not done with it. 

Yesterday at church a lady came up to us and told us that she has a friend that says that she has talked to us and wants to meet with us. We have been having a hard time contacting her and were going to stop trying, but now we are going to keep working on setting up an appointment with her. 
Love Sister Vernon

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 ...
