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.

We had an awesome lesson with Bill. We shared the Restoration with him and we felt the Spirit. He knows it is true, but also feels like he is too old to change because he is 87.

We had not seen Stanley all week and we were worried about him. We stopped by on Saturday and told him that he needed to come to Church so he can be baptized. He said he would come but wanted a white shirt first. We borrowed one for him and he came to Church. I think he had a great experience. We also had an area seventy show up to our meeting and he met Stanley.
We had Zone Conference this week and I sang with Sister Durfee and another Sister in it. 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 moved. We also got a phone call from some one who had moved away and now was moving back and needed help. We helped her move and it was packed really good which was helpful. Love, Sister Vernon

On Sunday morning we made a goal to have two people come to Church. Bill and Stanley had both told us they were coming. Bill is pretty old and got really worn out getting ready for Church and did not make it and Stanley just did not show up. It was cool because a Mother and her daughter just randomly showed up to Church. So we achieved our goal even though it was not any of the people we were planning on came.
We started teaching a young married couple. They are very religious, but seem open to learning more. The wife is named Emily and made us cookies, so she reminds me a little of Emily Vernon.
We were tracting and were ready to be done. But we decided to knock a few more doors. We found two people that were interested.

I also got a cold for the first time on my mission, but I am feeling good now. It has been going around the mission. Love, Sister Vernon

July 21, 2019 WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ON MY MISSION

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 ...
