First Transfer June 25, 2018

One of the Sisters in the ward drove me to Murrieta on Tuesday mourning. It was about an hour and a half drive. Murrieta is at the very northern part of the mission. Murrieta is a suburb. Almost everyone that lives here commutes two to three hours to work in San Diego and some work in Las Angeles. Our apartment is almost brand new and is very nice. Murrieta is farther from the Ocean so it is a lot hotter here.

Sister Mabunga has been out 8 months. She served for about two weeks in the Philippines before she got her visa. She speaks both Tagolog and English and has time to study English every day. She is my first companion that I am taller than her. She is super sweet and has eight siblings.
Our ward is pretty small geographically which is good because we are on bikes. I am using another missionaries old bike. The ward is growing and has a lot of young families. Just this week we had a family of ten move in.
There is a young newly wed couple that we started teaching.  The wife is a member of the church and the husband is not. They both came to sacrament meeting on Sunday which made us happy.
We helped a lady set up for a party and she had some fancy things such as napkin rings. We wrapped all the napkin and put them in the rings. I don't  think I had ever seen napkin rings before.
On my first day in Las Brisas I went on splits with one of the ward missionaries. We spent a really long time trying to find an apartment number only to realize that the address was slightly off missing a number. It was kind of fun because we were going in circles looking for the apartment.
Love Sister Vernon
 Sister Vernon was only with Sister Henrie one transfer. Sister Magumba is her new companion.

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 ...
