December 24, 2018 Sharing the Light of the World

We had a good week sharing and doing a lot of Light the World and Christmas stuff.
We had our mission Christmas Party. We went to Vista for it which was fun because it was my first area. They had a talent show and a lot of the missionaries did some funny things. It was fun seeing all the missionaries.
We went caroling a few times with our district. It was really successful. Some of the people said that they had never had anyone Carol to them before. It made them a lot more open to talking with us.
We went on exchanges. I was with Sister Jorgenson in our area. We went caroling with some members if the ward at an assisted living home. I played the piano for it and everyone else sang. It was really fun.
We started teaching a lady named Rachel. Her Sister is a member of the Church and she has seen how it has blessed her Sister's life. She has started reading the Book of Mormon. We shared the Restoration with her and she wants to share it with her son too. When we finished she asked when we would start teaching her the lessons. We told her that we had already taught her a lesson and that made her happy.

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 ...
