Hello, 
We were able to do a lot of service this week. We helped a Sister clean her house, her husband needs constant care and supervision so it is hard for her to do. We also stopped by a Sister in the ward who just moved in. Her father who is not a member of the church answered the door and told us that they were painting a room in their house and that his daughter would be home tomorrow. So we came back the next day dressed in work clothes and helped them pick oranges and peel wall paper off their wall. It was cool because he does not want to listen to the lessons, but he is curious about us and asked us questions while we worked. We also helped a lady prepare to move so that later she will be able to move without complications. 

We went on a mini exchange with the Hermanas. They tracked into a guy that wanted to take the lessons, but because he does not speak Spanish we get to teach him. Sister Walters and I went with Hermana Pierce to teach him. It went well we are now teaching him. 

We had a Mini Missionary from the Del Mar Stake named Brynn join us for the day on Saturday, so we had a companionship with four people. Because their was four of us we split up. Sister Walters and I went to the Vista Stake Woman's conference and Sister Grant and  Brynn went tracting. 

We were unable to have a lesson with Josie and James this week because they were doing things like the Woman's conference and Scout Camp, so we are not very disappointed that we could not meet with them. They went to church again and Sister Walters and I had a good conversation with Josie at the woman's conference. We asked if we could teach their children too and if we could work towards being baptized sometime in April. 

I was asked to give a talk in Sacrament meeting yesterday. The other speaker did not show up so it was just me and the youth speaker. Thankfully the youth speaker filled his time. I did all the material that I had prepared for my talk and then some and ended with about ten minutes of the meeting left. They then called a man up to speak who filled the rest of the time and then some so Sacrament ended up going over. Even with all that I think that my talk went well.
I hope you all had a great week,
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 ...
