Hello!
We went to Carlsbad this week for a zone conference. We got close enough to the ocean that I could see a boat on it. They talked about how we can use Facebook and that we need to use it for our missionary purpose. That is really all the guidance on facebook. It is a great thing to be able to use Facebook because we can communicate better with people. There was one lady that we were really struggling to contact her and now we can Facebook her and she responds. 

We went to a park and handed out family history cards and pamphlets. Lots of people do not want to hear what we have to say or they say that they already know Jesus, but are willing to look into family history.

 We went to a relief society activity, which was great. Josie and her daughter came to it. Josie seemed to already be friends with lots of the ladies including the Relief Society President. We made little peg people and painted them. I sent a picture of mine. I started out going for seven people for Mom, Dad, brothers, and me. But it turned out I miss counted and was missing a few brothers, so I thought I added the right amount of brothers and then I had too many, and so I started adding their wives, but I missed at least one girl. It is still a cute craft though. 
Josie and James came to church with their family and they had a good experience. They thought it was special how the members run the church and how family oriented it was. It was awesome how the ward welcomed them to church. 

We also joined the choir at church because we are planning a special Easter program for members to bring their friends to that the choir is going to participate in. The program while have music and some short talks and then we will give church tours to people.
We saw a coyote while we were tracting. The road got more rural the farther we went, eventually we saw a coyote, but thankful it was pretty far away. It was still in the city and in the middle of the day which was interesting. 
Love Sister Vernon

Pictures
1. We made little people at a Relief Society Activity that Josie and her daughter came to. I was going to do our family, but some reason I had a hard time getting the right number of little people and this is what I ended up with. 
2. An abandoned house that we tracked by. There was a coyote that we saw near it but we were not able to get a picture which I think is a good thing. 
3. It was someone's Birthday and we had dinner with his family.
 They had us all put flowers in our hair.
