Talk, Scarves and teaching!


May 21, 2018

Hello,
Sister Henrie and I both gave talks yesterday. This is my second time giving a talk in the ward, they really like having the missionaries talk. The talk I was asked to talk on was from 1995, that was really short. It was interesting looking at the pictures of all the people that spoke. Everyone looks a lot younger, and President Nelson almost looks the same. I shared about how God will give us strength to Endure to the End and read the scriptures especially the Book of Mormon. 

We were asked to be investigators for the youth. They had a Doctrinal Mastery night and were practicing teaching using the scriptures. It was fun to go and see them teach.

We had a lesson with a man who is trying to come back to church. He wants his son to be a part of the church. He also had an experience were he lost his keys and wallet. He prayed to God and promised that if He would help him find his keys and wallet that he would come back to church. He found his keys and wallet and has started to come back. 

I got to play the Piano at a Baptism the some of the Elders had. It was nice to have the prelude music book that Mom sent me. It was a nice baptism and it was fun to play the piano.

We had set up to share a message with a member family. The mom thought that we were the Hermanas and were coming to visit her elderly Mom that only speaks Spanish. We shared a message with the family and then visited with the Grandma. So we ended up visiting with her and having it translated. She was super cute and knits all the time. As soon as we walked in she gave us scarfs that she had made. 

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 ...
