Oct 22, 2018 I'm Being Transferred








The big news for this week is that we have transfers. I will be going to Bear Valley in Escondido and I will be with my MTC companion Sister Fish. It is another biking area.
We had two of the people we are teaching come to watch a Baptism. Daniel came to one for someone in the YSA ward and Gloria went to one for a family friend.
We had Stake Conference this week. We went to the adult session with Daniel and Gillian. One of the speakers talked about how in boxing a lot of novices want to go for the big powerful punch to bring down there opponent. But that the experiences boxer knows that it is the little successive jabs that most effectively bring down your opponent. He compared this to spiritual promptings and answers to prayers. That we sometimes want a big sign, but there are little signs from God that are answers to our prayers. It helped Daniel realize that he is not going to have a huge spiritual experience, but his answers are in the peace and comfort he experiences when reading and prayer. Hopefully he takes that to heart.
We also had a great experience visiting a lady in the ward that is going through a hard time and feels lost. We were able to help her feel a little better and set it up so she could have a blessing. She should be coming to Church next week.
We had dinner with a Samoan family and got feed a lot of food. It was fun to experience a little bit of their culture.
We did a Zone Hike this morning to a rock that I have now done three times.
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 ...
