March 24, 2019 LEMONADE STAND!

MARCH 25, 2019
We taught the Plan of Salvation and we thought it went pretty good. They asked a lot of questions and seemed to want to understand it. Then at the end of the lesson they said they wanted to know who Joseph Smith is. We have shared the story of the Restoration including the First Vision before with them and we were surprised that they did not remember.

We went to a Relief Society Dinner. It was a favorite things night, so we were supposed to bring something cheap that we love. Both of us not wanting to spend any money grabbed a little nativity tile that was sitting in the apartment and a Book of Mormon. Everyone thought our gifts were pretty good. They were definitely the most focused on the Savior.

Last week we started setting up a Lemonade stand with our district by the High School. We ask the kids a gospel question and then they get a Lemonade. Lots of the kids that are members of the Church sneak up with all the other kids. So it is a guessing game on if the kids are members of the Church.

We helped a lady with a ton of stuff try to organize all of it. We basically moved a bunch of stuff for her then put it all back.

We had exchanges and we knocked doors in one of the richest parts of the mission. I also did a piano duet with Sister Quist in the Young Single Adult Ward because she asked me to. We did I know that my Redeemer Lives. We practiced it the day before and the performed it. It could have been a lot better, but also could have been worse. It felt weird going to their sacrament meeting, it is very different then the family ward we cover. We definitely have a lot more cute little kids

Lots of pretty purple flowers, I found a hibiscus on the ground and tried to put it in my hair, but it did not work very well, the Sisters tried to park so they would not have to back, but it did not work very well.

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...
