December 10, 2018 Night in Bethlehem






Well Sister Fish left for Murrieta this week and Sister Kovach came here to Escondido. Sister Kovach is from Brighton Colorado so pretty close to home. She also was in the cultural celebration for the temple.

It rained again this week, but we faired better in it. We still got soaked. The entire time Sister Kovach was so excited to be in the rain and she kept taking pictures. We someone who only speaks German which was a new one. Normally people only speak Spanish if they don't speak English. We also meet a super cute 17 year old girl named Cierra. She was so excited about the Book of Mormon that she said she was going to share it with her friend. When we called her she had shared it with her friend.

Our ward had their ward Christmas Party. The theme was a night in Bethlehem. We ended up helping prepare the food which was shiskabobs. We cut up all the vegetables and skewered them. Then everyone dressed up and ate Bethlehem food for the party. A lady we had dinner with a while ago came with some friends she had told us about. We went and talked with then and gave them both Book of Mormons. Neither of them live in our area, but they were pretty cool.

This was also our first week with the new dinner standards and it went pretty good. We did end up eating out once when we did not have enough time to go back to the apartment.
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 ...
