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 happiness is to be one with God. It was cool because he recognized that it was a sign from God that we happened to ask him that question when we show him. I know that true happiness come from following our Savior and gathering all things together in him. Like Elder Bednar's talk says.
We also talked to a man who said we had a blessing and another man that called us good Christian Sisters.
We went to a Baptism for a little nine year old boy named Christian. It was super cute. He was not baptized when he was eight because of health problems.
Love, Sister Vernon

We worked by the ocean one day and we also were able to go to the Oceanside Pier this morning. It was pretty so I took a lot of pictures

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 ...
