We had a busy week. Sister Mabunga was sick last Monday so we stayed home. She is feeling better know. It went through almost all the missionaries in our Zone, but I did not get it.

We had a good lesson with Gillian and Daniel. Gillian called randomly and said that she has a serious question. She asked how do I tell if I am feeling the Spirit or if it is just a good lesson. We shared a couple of scriptures with them, so hopefully we answered their question. We were sad because they did not come to church yesterday. Hopefully they went to another ward.
We helped run the Murrieta Stake 5-k fun run for the kids. We told them where to start and gave them a popsicle stick for every lap they went around. The little kids did a half mile and the older kids did one mile. Some of the kids ran their hardest and were too busy running to grab their popsicle sticks. Consequently they had to run more laps to get the  medal we gave them at the end. Other kids barely made it. It was fun and the kids were super cute.
We went to a Baptism for a lady from the Philippines in another ward. Even though she is not in our ward she has really connected with Sister Mabunga because they both are from the Philippines. I played the piano for the Baptism and Sister Mabunga led the music. It is nice having the prelude chain book for things like that. They fed us Filipino food and one of the dishes was fish with the heads and bones and everything. Sister Mabunga loved it, but I just had the chicken they served instead.
We had dinner with a family in the ward, the Bishops. When Brother Bishop heard I was from Fort Collins he asked if I knew the Rhodes. He had the Rhodes for his mission President for part of his mission.

We are teaching two little girls

. They are super cute, and have some pretty deep questions.

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 ...
