Hello,
This week it got really hot. It has been around 113 outside. We getting really sweaty. We have been getting rides from people more often because it is so hot. I was thinking that the rest of the summer is going to be this hot, but it sounds like it is a heat wave and will cool down slightly.

Sister Mabunga made Philipino food for dinner on Preparation day. It was chicken, potatoes, and rice cooked soy sauce and vinegar. She worked hard on it and it tasted good. She says they eat it all the time.
We had a Zone Conference on the 4th of July and then a devotional/dinner with our zone. So we did not go out and proselyte, which was weird. It was Sister Mabunga's first 4th of July  and she got really excited, but was sad because we did not see any Fireworks.

We had exchanges on Tuesday. I went with Sister Romig to the Murrieta YSA ward. This was my first time going to a different area for exchanges so it was fun. The ward covers four stakes/cities. Two of which are not in the Carlsbad Mission, but in the Riverside Mission. So we left the mission to work in their area. We did a booth in a college campus sharing about Family History Work, it was cool because we got to talk to a lot of people and share with them.

We had a lesson with a young married couple. We were trying to find someone to come with us to teach them and could not think of anyone. We ended up going through the ward list looking at people and invited another young couple. They were able to come and seemed to build a friendship. They also came to church, but only the first hour.
We had the Elders give a lady named Daleen a blessing. I asked her how she felt during the Blessing and she said that she felt good and like God was with her. We told her that was the Spirit.

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 ...
