Hello family,
We started last week off going to a funeral in San Marcos. Lots of missionaries had helped the lady and they got special permission for the Sisters that had served there to come down for the funeral and sing. Sister Henrie had served there. We all sang I Stand all Amazed for it. The funeral was in Sister Walters area so I got to see her. It was special to be a part of something with so many other Sister Missionaries. 

We have been teaching a man and his son who have the goal to come back to church. We invited him to come to church this Sunday when we taught them. James said that he knew it was coming and that he would try his best to come. His son said the sweetest prayer when we left and prayed that his daddy would be able to come to church. He came on Sunday and was even given a calling at church.

We got a text telling us to meet with a man that has not come to church in a long time. We had a little trouble setting up an appointment with him, but we're eventually able to get together along some members. He was very excited to come back to church and just needed to know when it was to come. He was baptized in Utah a long time ago. What is interesting is that our Bishop's Brother was his friend who had baptized him. He recognized Bishop immediately. Hopefully they keep coming to church.

We have been visiting a lady in a place called Life Care Center Vista. It is a place for people that are mostly in wheel chairs and will live there permanently. We sing her hymns when we come. She loves us to sing the hymns. She wants Sister Henrie and I to go on America's got talent. We told her thank you, but we are not doing that.
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 ...
