June 24, 31 Mission boundary change-I'm serving in the Riverside mission now!

June 24, 2019
Sister Stoddard left to Escondido and and Sister Welker came to Morgan Hill. Everything went well with transfers and I went with another Sister while I waited for Sister Welker to get here. We saw a man carrying boxes and offered to help him. His family then visited with us and gave us food.
We had a meeting to meet the Riverside Mission President. It is interesting to see how he does things differently than President Thomas. 
A few weeks ago we gave a woman a copy of The Book of Mormon. She did not want to set up a return appointment and would not give us her phone number. We came back this week and she was not home, but her husband was and he said that she has been reading it. He sees the Book mark moving through the book. 
We were biking to an appointment and we stopped to talk to a man named Kevin. He was not interested, but thinks we are very well traveled and experts on good places to visit. 
Love,Sister Vernon

We were asked to teach a combined young men and young women class on Sunday. We decided to teach on Elder Radbands talk "Build a Fortress of Spirituality and Protection" we brought popsicle sticks and had then build fortresses and put a little paper person in it. We had one kid represent the devil and the obstacles he sends our way. He came and tried to blow the fortresses down and for the most part was unsuccessful. We related this to Building a Fortress of faith that will allow us to stand strong when we face hard times. I think it went well and that they enjoyed it.
We found a new person to teach this week named Jordan, he is a teenager. However he was not there for the appointment we set up.
One day this week we went to the very edge of our area on a dirt road. It was kind of fun to explore. We did even give out a Book of Mormon to a lady up there.
We officially are a part of the Riverside Mission. Our area Book would not sync and then it deleted a bunch of stuff when they changed it. Most of the stuff we have figured out now. I think they deleted our area and then added a new area in the Riverside mission.

PANTS!

We got pants this week. So we wore a pants a few times this week. The first time we wore pants we had a lot of success. So the pants seem to be working. One lady we met talked to us for a while and called us adorable a lot. She was fixing a fence and we were able to help her a little bit. We did a Church tour with Rachel. She enjoyed it, but still did not come to Church yesterday. We also taught a lady named Petra, she said she normally does not open the door to people and feels like the Lord sent us to her. We had a full mission meeting with the Area President Elder Pearson. It was very good. He talked about how we have Light in our eyes and we need to work hard to be obedient and follow the Lord. In July our mission will be changing. Some parts will go to Riverside Mission and San Diego Mission and Irvine will be added to our Mission. So I might finish up the last transfer of my mission in a different mission. Love, Sister Vernon

Funeral means they are going home from their mission.

May 13, 2019 We had a lesson with Delia and her son Oliver. We were worried about what we were going to teach and how. We made an entire plan. Then I said that it did not feel right and Sister Rigby agreed, so we changed it and the lesson went great. Susan texted us late Saturday night saying she was planning on coming to Church. We found her a ride, but she did not show up. Apparently she was sleeping and woke up and thought that it was 9am Sunday morning and was going to come to Church. Only to find out when she walked her dog that it was dark outside and it was 9pm Saturday evening. Then she did not sleep all night and did not end up coming. I have not had that happen before with someone coming to Church. Love, Sister Vernon Bill and us, Sister Rigby's funeral because she is going home, me, Sister Rigby and me,
