White washing- going to new places

May 20, 2019 ELLAINA
We got transfers news. We normally get a text with were we are going Saturday morning, but it got delayed until Saturday night, which seemed like forever. Sister Rigby is going home today and I am going to Temecula. It is another full time bike area and it will be my second time biking in the hottest part of the mission. My new companion Sister Stoddard is from Grand Junction Colorado, and will be my 3rd companion from Colorado. She will also be new to the area. So I am whitewashing out and whitewashing in. With the mission split that means that unless something crazy happens next transfer I will be in the Riverside mission for the last transfer of my mission.  
We were able to visit Stanley who we have not seen since we stopped teaching him. We had good visits with both of then. Stanley has said he has been thinking about everything a lot and he was happy to see us. He still is not ready though, but he is getting there. Nia is another lady we stopped by. She really needed someone to talk to and we said a nice prayer with her.

We have been busy saying goodbye to people and packing. It is really sweet how much they love us. 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 ...
