WHO WAS OUTSIDE OUR WINDOW!
Dear Family, We had a lesson with a returning member named Samuel. He contacted a missionary online who contacted us. We tried really hard to get someone else to come to the lesson. We finally got Brother Christensen, our ward mission leader to come. The problem then is that we would have even numbers which is against mission rules. I was really hoping and praying that their would be someone else at the Church. Thankfully Samuel brought his girlfriend, Regan, and we were able to teach both of them. They definitely felt the spirit.

One day we were having dinner and we got a random phone call,  a man asked about how he could watch General Conference, so we told him. We were kind of confused on how he got our number. Apparently he has a friend who told him to call us.

We ended up pulling weeds a few times this week. We helped a member and Vergie who is someone we were teaching a while ago. Vergie took us out to eat afterwards. After we had lunch with her we were sitting in our car because Sister Rigby's tummy did not feel so good. Sister Rigby looked out the window and said that there was a man holding a Book of Mormon outside our car. We were kind of confused. Sister Rigby pulled down the window and he wanted a new Book of Mormon because the one he had was old. We had a pretty good conversation with him and gave him a new Book of Mormon.

General Conference was awesome! I loved hearing from the Prophet and feeling the Spirit. I liked how Elder Uchtdorf shared 5 ways that we can all share the gospel. 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 ...

We are having a Family Home Evening lesson tonight so we made the armo r of God for it. The light saber was just in our apartment. We made a breastplate too, but Sister Henrie was still working on it when I took the picture  A place that we walk by a lot with a bunch of potted plants. June 28, 2018 Hello,  I got my first Media Referrals this week, or people that have said they will meet with the missionaries on  mormon.org . The first one we got went to an address that did not exist. We were able to text the person and get his address and left the Bible he requested at his house because he was not there when he said he would be. We got a 2nd online Referral and he says he wants to become a Mormon. Unfortunately, he lives slightly outside our ward.  We had Zone Conference this week in Carlsbad. It was good we discussed contacting and how to have good interactions with members to inspire them to do missionary work. We also had Mission Presiden...
