Sister Ellaina Vernon

On Monday we did a end of the transfer hike in the morning. I was leading the way and we missed a fork in the trail. We then reached another fork and did not know which way to go. It took a little bit, but we made it to the rock which was our destination. Sister Mabunga said some last minute goodbyes to the people in Las Brisas. She wanted to say goodbye to as many people as possible. On Tuesday we sent her to her new area. I spent the day with Sister Jorgenson while we both waited for our new companions to arrive who were carpooling together. We were also coordinating the details with them and the lady who drove them. It ended up taking a long time for them to get here and Sister Miles did not get to where we are at until about 8 pm when the original plan was around 3 pm. Sister Miles is from Colorado Springs Colorado. I was surprised that they put us together when we are from the same state. It is fun because now when people ask where we are from one of us says, "We are

We got our transfer text on Saturday. Sister Mabunga will be going to Vista and I will stay in Murrieta with Sister Miles. I know that Sister Miles has been out for about 4 1/2 Months and that she has been in Carlsbad YSA before and this will be her second area. We had a good lesson with Daniel and Gillian at one of the Bishopric's home. They called Gillian to be in nursery while we were there. This will be her first calling as an adult and she seems excited. We told them that Daniel likes children and would like to go to nursery, and they must have taken that comment seriously. Daniel still needs to recognize a witness about the truthfulness of the Church, but he is reading his scriptures and praying. So his witness will come. The Bishop and our Ward Mission leader found someone for us to teach. The Raymonds are a Family that have not been coming to Church and they want their 11 year old son to take the lessons and want to come back to Church. They just need to actually do

September 3, 2018 This week we visited Krystal a few times. She is working on getting a temple recommend and the Bishop asked us to teach her the lessons. She has a little one year old around Kate's age named Kathryn. It is easy to teach her because she always testifies about the Gospel. We had a lesson with Daniel and Gillian. Last week Daniel said that he picked September 13 to get Baptized on. We looked into scheduling the Baptismal font then, but the entire building is being used by the stake. Daniel said they talked about it and decided on Sunday would be better than a Thursday. This was a blessing for us, because we were going to have to tell him that the day he picked would not work. Daniel was unable to come to Church though, because he had to work. He has Sundays requested off, but they keep scheduling him. Gillian came though and meet some of the other ladies in the ward in Relief Society. Leann and Ezra had their baby blessed in Sacrament yesterday. They were

We helped set up for a Relief Society Dinner and stayed for the dinner. It was a back to school night theme. It was only us and the Relief Society President that helped set up. We got it all ready and the activity was a good turn out. We went out to dinner at a fancy Italian place. I got to try creme brulee. It was fun to try. We visited a family from partially from American Samoa. Some of them are members some are not. They have started coming to Church so we were visiting them. We were talking to them and about to share about the First Vision when The Primary President showed up. I thought it was funny that we all came at once to visit. I think they told us all the same time to visit them. They also came to church on Sunday. We had a good lesson with Daniel and Gillian at the park. One of the Young Men came with us who is preparing to serve a mission. Daniel has picked a day to be baptized on and is praying for confirmation that it is right. We taught Krystal a few t
