Oct 8, 2018 General Conference FEAST

October 8, 2018
We watched General Conference and had a Spiritual feast. It is amazing how basically everything that The Prophets and Apostles teach is the same as what we teach as missionaries. I love that the Lord leads The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and that we are a Church of Revelation.
Back with Sister Mabunga we met this guy named David as we were walking and we stopped and talked to him about the Gospel. He got excited and told us that he knows President Oaks and had dinner once with President Ballard. He likes to show off how much he knows about the Church. He loves the Church, but does not understand why following the commandments are important. He did not appear to have a desire to change and we did not have a way to contact him again so we finished the conversation and moved on. The other day Sister Miles and I were biking and ran into him again. We had basically the exact same conversation we had before with him, he was saying the same things as before. At the end he said that he even would watch our General Conference. We told him that conference was this weekend and invited him to watch it and gave him a flyer for it. He was excited to watch it.

There is a senior Sister in the ward that just got back from a Family History Mission in Salt Lake. She signed up to feed us dinner and we were going to meet her at a Restaurant. As we were waiting Sister Miles predicted that she would be driving a Toyota Prius. When she pulled up she was indeed in a Prius and Sister Miles was very proud of herself.

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 ...
