Sister Ellaina Vernon

We had Zone Conference this week and they announced some big changes. We will no longer eat with members during the week and only eat with them on Saturday and Sunday. We will eat dinner in our apartment from 4 pm-5, work on finding from 5-7 pm, and teach members 7-9 pm.  We did a lot of biking and finding this week. We have found out about a lot of people who moved or are not interested. Their was one guy we meet who when we said we taught about Jesus told us he could probably teach us something about Jesus. We listened to him share his incite on Christ and his feelings towards Christ. We had been standing listening to a while and were tempted to leave without really sharing anything with him. But we taught him about the Book of Mormon and how Christ visited the Americas. He said he will read it.  Danny who we have been teaching came to the first two hours of Church and we had a missionary who is leaving who bore an awesome testimony that was great for him to here.  L

November 5, 2018 There was a Tamale Festival so we got Tamales,  we had dinner with a family and their house had a really good view, we went to the temple!!!! The temple was this week. Sister Fish is 5' 11" ELLAINA’S LETTER We got to go to the temple this week. The member that drove us had not gone in a while and I think she had a good experience going with us. The temple is awesome and it is great to feel the Spirit. We went as a district to the transit station in Escondido to hand out water and talk to people. I was a little skeptical about it before, but it went really good. We ended up handing out a lot of Book of Mormons and having really good conversations with some people. One lady had an experience before and said that we were sent from God to talk to her. We helped a family move that breeds dogs and had like 8 dogs. It was a hard move because they used big boxes for everything and they were really heavy. We helped at a museum about the train

Last Monday I was busy packing and saying goodbye to people. I had a good experience in the Las Brisas ward and I know that I did what the Lord needed me to do there. I went to Escondidio on Tuesday and met up with Sister Fish. We live in a Studio Apartment that is connected to a members house, the William's. They are a young family with four little kids. Their house is at the top of a really big hill that we have to bike everyday. We taught a few people including two little girls who were recently baptized. The one little girl had really funny facial expressions letting us know she was confused. We did a lot of service this week. We organized a shed for a lady. It was a mess, but her stuff should not fall on her anymore. We then pulled weeds for her. We also did service moving mulch for a community thing. It was cool because their was also a Key Club helping and I got to talk to them. My arms were a little sore from moving all the mulch. We went to our ward trunk or t
