The Messiah

APRIL 22, 2019--THE MESSIAH
We went to seminary and made an announcement in one of the classes. I forgot we were going that morning so I got dressed and started exercising. When Sister Rigby came out she was in a dress and was ready to go. So I had to change and we went to the Church. Next week we are doing a breakfast with the kids to invite their friends to. It sounds like some of them have already invited friends.

We had a blitz in our area which means other Missionaries came and worked in our area to help us find people to teach. The Elders found a lady named Liz, that we might be able to teach.
The Church did a big fancy production of Handel's Messiah. We have been inviting a lot of people to come to it for awhile. They had professional soloists and an orchestra. The first night a lady and her daughter came that we have been trying to get in contact with. The second night Irma came. We had a bold lesson this week with Irma and her husband and stopped teaching them. So it was extra special that she came, and felt the Spirit at the Messiah.

We get a lot of visitors in our ward, typically about half the people in attendance are on vacation. So it is hard to know if someone is new or coming for the first time rather then on vacation. There was two girls that came on Sunday. I did not see them, but Sister Rigby noticed them. We wanted to talk to them, but they snuck out before we could. Fortunately another lady talked to them. They are marines and one is a member of the Church that has not been attending. It was cool that they both just showed up and even though we did not talk to them that someone did.

Love, Sister Vernon

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 ...
