Service and Temple! Wonderful week!

August 12, 2018
Last Monday Sister Mabunga and I were in charge of a game for the entire Zone to play. We tried spoons which did not work very well because they wanted to do extreme spoons and hide them throughout the Church and then no one could find the spoons. We also played Reverse Charades which went great. We came up with the things to act out and everyone got really involved.
We volunteered at the Food Pantry this week. I was the banana lady and was in charge of the bananas. It was fun to help with that.
Someone was driving us home yesterday and I looked out the window and saw Candy, someone we had taught once and have been unable to contact since then. Her phone stopped working and we did not have her address. We pulled over and got out of the car and chased her down. We were able to get her address for the Young SA Sisters so they can teach her.

I got to go to the temple for Lyla to receive her endowment. We are able to go when someone we have worked with is going for the first time and they ask us to come. Lyla is a member we were working with in Vista, so Sister Walters and I got to go and our companions worked together for the day. Lyla  was baptized as a child and somehow forgot that she had been baptized. When she found out that she had been baptized she showed up to church and has been coming ever sense. She had asked us what was keeping her from going to the temple. We told her to talk to the Bishop and when she did she was able to start taking a Temple Preparation Class. She was so happy at the temple and had a huge smile on her face the entire time. Lyla has had a hard life and the Gospel and blessings of the temple have brought her so much peace and happiness. She was also happy that we were able to come.

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 ...
