June 17, 2018 Leaving first area


We got transfers this week. I will be going to Murrieta. I will be transitioning to full time bike which will be different. My new companion will be Sister Mabunga she is from the Philippines.
On Tuesday we got an online Referral from mormon.org for a girl named Lucky. We visited her and I had even knocked on her door before when we were tracting. We taught her about the Restoration and she seems really excited to learn more. She was impressed that we came by so fast. She has a friend that is on a mission and gets his letters. She was excited to have a Book of Mormon so that she can look up the scriptures he talks about. We think she is YSA so other missionaries will probably have to teach her.
We started teaching a lady named Caroline that the YSA Sisters have been teaching. They told us they wanted to invite her to be baptized on July 14. As they lesson went on none of the other missionaries were asking her so I invited her to be baptized. She said yes, but maybe not that exact day because she has to work. That was a cool experience.
We also got another referral that we taught. We were waiting for a Sister in the ward who was going to visit him with us. He then walked up and approached us.
Both the Omar and his family and Brother Mertens and his son came to church again yesterday. It is exciting to see them coming back to church.
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 ...
