We had both District Council and Mission President Interviews on Tuesday so we had a lot of meetings.

We did a lot of finding this week. We found a man named that we started to teach. The entire time we were teaching him we thought he was going to start bashing us. He was talking about how he believed that only the Bible is the word of God and that is all we need to study. When we introduced the Book of Mormon and the First Vision he seemed to accept it, even though it is different than what he thought before. Hopefully he continues to recognize the truth that we teach.

We helped at the Food Pantry. This time I got to help bag the fruits and vegetables. This was nice because it is something that is more needed than what they normally have us do.

We helped Rochelle clean her home again. She needs the peace and comfort that gospel can bring, but she focuses on the challenges she faces and not her blessings.

We visited a lady that is 101. She was in the bathroom when we first got their and we had to wait for her to come out. She can not really hear so when we called to tell her we were coming over she did not understand who we were. But when we showed up we had a nice visit with her.

Yesterday I had prayed that we would have someone new come to Church. None of the people we are teaching came, but the missionaries from another ward texted us right before Church saying that they have someone they are teaching coming to our ward. They came and so we had people at Church which was an answer to our prayer. President and Sister Thomas also showed up to our Sacrament Meeting.

Love, Sister Vernon
 We had one of the young sister service missionaries go tracting with us. It felt like we were in a 
trio again!

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 ...
