Easter & General Conference

April 2, 2018
We had a zone BBQ on Monday before Sister Grant went home. Our zone was split into two zones this transfer so it was our last time all together. The BBQ was good and we brought cinnamon rolls. It was fun to be outside at the park. We then dropped Sister Grant off at the Mission Office and said goodbye. So now it is just me and Sister Walters. 

We had a great time visiting Sister OConnor a lady in our ward that has been in the hospital and now is in a care facility. She is super sweet and we sing her songs every week when we visit. 

I had my first run in with some one that bashes the scriptures. He told us that he had read The Book of Mormon and that it teaches all this horrible stuff in it and it is inspired it is not of God. I told him that is not what is written in the Book of Mormon. Sister Walters did a good job of testifying and bearing her testimony. It was an interesting experience and hopefully I get better at responding to those situations. 

We have been helping a girl in the ward work on her personal progress so that she can get it before she graduates this year. For her faith project she is memorizing the Living Christ and we are working on memorizing it as well. I am about two and a half paragraph's in. 

It was great watching General Conference. We watched most of it at the Stake Center with the other missionaries. Their was a lot of significant announcements. I loved how they said that the changes are so we can love each other more and become more like the Savior. We watched the last session with our investigator Bryan. It was cool when President Nelson announced the temples. Brother Turner who was watching with us was born in the town in India where the temple is going to be built. We taught Bryan a lesson after conference. 

For Easter our Zone did a potlock Breakfast before hand. We brought fruit and juice. It was fun. I also hid all the eggs you mailed and Sister Walters found 4 of them, I had to help her find the last two. I also made a little Easter Bunny thing. Sister Birt is a lady in our ward that we do service for. We had dinner with her and dyed Easter Eggs. She like to do everything from scratch so the purple was made with beets and the yellow with onion peels. 

Love Sister Vernon 

General Conference is when we get to learn from our Prophet and Apostles, if you are interested in checking it out here is a link.  It is a blessing to receive guidance from the Lord through them.

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...
