Sister Ellaina Vernon

We went to the temple on Tuesday. We went with the YSA Sisters because they could not find a someone to take them. It was fun going. We decided to stop by Irma, we started teaching her a while ago, but had not had recent contact. We had a great conversation with her and her husband Freddy and they let us in there home. Before she would not because they have a vicious little doggy. We had a Zone Conference with Elder Klebengort. He was talking to us about Missionary work and stuff. Then all of a sudden our Mission President jumps up and tells him that the announcement came out. They then told us that we can call our families every week. A girl just got home from her mission and did her homecoming talk. She and her Mom, and Sister did a musical number of Come Thou Font of Every Blessing/If you could Hie to Kolob. I ended up accompanying them which was fun. We have been teaching Bill a lot, he has a hard time remembering what we teach him because he is so old, but he has a si

February 4, 2019 Some of the Sisters that live near us ended up moving out of their apartment. We helped them clean and pack up a lot. A lot of stuff ends up in the missionary apartments.

I even sang the alto part which was a challenge for me. We also helped a few people move. One move was in the rain and we got completely soaked, but we got them mov

January 28, 2019 We had a good week. We had our first District council of the transfer. It was good. It has been a long time since my companionship was the only Sisters in the District. We taught Stanley again, he has a desire to follow Christ, but he keeps going surfing with his friends instead of going to Church. We are going to teach him about the importance of the Sabbath day and how going to Church is a huge blessing. We taught Bill again. He is pretty old. He was reading the Book of Mormon with a magnifying glass and got really worried when he lost his magnifying glass. We did service for Vergie doing yard work. Along with that service we started teaching a few members of Vergie's family members. We had some good experiences contacting this week. One man we asked what makes him happy. He then explained his extensive search for happiness. He had just finished writing down his conclusions on what happiness is and how to achieve it. His conclusion was that hap
