September 3, 2018 -Sharing the Gospel


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 late, and missed the time when they normally do the blessing. They were already doing the testimony part of the meeting. The Bishop got up to announce that they were going to do the blessing, once they all got to church. An elderly lady in the ward was getting up to bear her testimony and nothing was going to stop her. She went up to the pulpit where the Bishop was and started bearing her testimony. The Bishop had to sit back down while she shared her testimony. We visited with her later and she said that when she woke up in the morning she tried to conserve her energy, because she wanted to bear her testimony. She really wanted to share and has a sweet testimony of the Gospel. The blessing of baby Ezra was really sweet and it was good for Leann to see her baby blessed.

We had an interesting Dinner with Sister McLennan this week. She took us out to a Burger place. As we were eating we noticed a car pulled up to the curb across the side of the street. Their were two men getting in and out of the car, and it was clear something was not right. Sister McLennan went to the workers at the Restaurant to call the Police. After about 5 minutes the Police showed up. Then a fire truck showed up, and then an ambulance. They took one of the men in an ambulance. Then a tow truck came and took the car. Then all the trucks, police, and firemen left, leaving the one man and his cat. At this time we had finished eating our burgers. We got in the car and Sister McLennan asked if it was alright if we went and checked on the man. We told her it was alright. We ended up driving him and his cat to the hospital were they had taken his Dad. Their car's airbags suddenly went off and had hurt his father. The Paramedics said their cat could not ride in the Ambulance and so he stayed behind with the cat. He said he had prayed that someone would come help him and give him a ride. We also gave him a Book of Mormon. Sister McLennan said she has never picked someone up like that before, and normally I would not want to, but I think we were prompted and it was something that we needed to do. I am glad we were able to help answer his prayer.

Love,
Sister Vernon

July 21, 2019 WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ON MY MISSION

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 ...
