Half a letter, and lots of pictures

Evan & Companion
Dad make sure you share my blogspot with everyone. They will want to know how my sense of humor is keeping up (hint it's fine).  I miss everyone, but not too bad. Also I decided that you guys were the ones who are out of luck because I am bringing my humor with me. This one is long because everything is new and exciting still. 

Wednesday was long, 20 hours long. We arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare, but so did what seemed like 100 others. There was 2 workers working four check in terminals. And then this one group of about 10 girls skipped the line telling everyone that their flight was boarding in 20 minutes. That was my flight and I am pretty sure quite a few others as well. Thankfully I was able to skip security because I tried out a 30 day trial of Clear, so I skipped right to the front, I arrived just in time for boarding. Because it was such a rush, the goodbyes were short, just like ripping off a band aid.Then Aunt Robin was on the same flight so she bumped me up to comfort, not quite first class but still pretty nice. As we were boarding some dude asked if I was returning from a mission. That was weird that he recognized me just because I was an 18 year old in nice clothes. So we got on the plane and sat down, the wall of the
plane had, duct tape so me and Robin were a bit confused, and a teensy bit worried, me writing this email shows that it turned out fine. The three best parts of the plane trip, was I napped for the first 2 hours, I was "sir"ed by the flight crew (not sure if it was me looking fancy, or that delta is just better than southwest), and they gave me a banana. In the awake time I was reading some scriptures and learned that the Spirit carries us when it comes to sharing the gospel, our job is to start the ball rolling. Then me and Robin got off and headed to Provo, We stopped off for some Indian food along the way. The first one was closed, it was 10:45 but we kept on driving and went to another one and it was open when we got there. I couldn't pronounce most of it but it was good. As we were leaving we saw some restaurant with it's drive through so backed up we couldn't get out for a while. We were interested what restaurant was so good you waited 30 minutes in line for it at 11 AM. It was such a disappointed when it turned out to be Swig [a fancy flavored soda / soft drink bar], we also became disappointed in humanity, we groaned so loud. Then we got some ice cream, and I had muddy bunch which sounded good and turned out great.
We couldn't procrastinate any longer so we started off to the MTC. We arrived at 12:15 so we didn't have to go under we pulled right up, and two sisters going to the Philippines decided to host me. But they are leaving when Daniel gets in he won't meet them, apparently hosting is randomly assigned to a district so who knows if I will get to host you guys [Jacob & Daniel enter the MTC next Wednesday]. So then I got to wait in a classroom with one Elder who arrived before me, for the rest of the district to arrive.

[Evan accidently deleted the rest of his letter]

I thought I sent it but I deleted it instead. So I will retype up the other stuff later and sent it next Saturday. But I am loving it out here and am amazed that there is no commercial thing out here in Utah, I am only here to feel the Spirit and boy do I feel it. People who have been to EFY [Especially for Youth is a youth religious retreat] says the MTC [missionary training center] is 10 times better. If anyone is sitting on the fence or not at all I recommend it.

That awkward moment you fat thumb and send an unwritten email 6/24/2019

Image
We had a couple of really good visits this week where we were able to get back into contact with people we haven't heard from in a while, and we were able to answer questions about what exactly we believe. We were able to talk to a lot of people on the streets as well this week, and for anyone who knows about or has been to San Bernardino that is a great time.  This week we had a long pday activity where we hiked up in the mountains. So this will be a short email, but there is proof I exist!  -Elder Bearman President Dixon  Is an amazing leader  leaves us on Thursday

And that's a Transfer!

Image
Leaving Space for Jesus I did it, I made it through a Transfer [ a six week period after which one or both missionaries in a pair are moved to a new location]  without my trainer acting on his impulse to strangle me, it can be done! We come from the Premortal life , ask your local Mormon about that one What is the difference between hope, belief, and faith? The Zone activity was a blast, we had hamburgers, unfortunately over the course of the week we became less thankful. Steak and hamburger, way too much. Too much. We went to visit Sister C an older lady in the ward, it turns out she was hilarious, we noticed she had a roommate to watch over her and help her, and so we decided to teach the Restoration and her roommate decided to listen in and she ended up asking questions, and she is now an investigator. She asked us what our opinion on visions are, why were the Apostles called away from their family if family is so important. And we were like those ...

All you can eat KFC 2/4/2019

Image
Last Monday we heard rumors about a buffet, all you can eat KFC out in banning, so we went out and snooped around. IT IS TRUE! It was 10 bucks and they had it all out on buffet so it was a lot of fun, nomming on 10 pieces of chicken (it eventually started to taste like nothing but grease and fat, so we stopped). It was a good time, and I am good on KFC for a long time. I like Popeyes way better anyway. We had a really good week of getting in contact with people we haven't had contact with for quite a while, as well as people we were just trying to get in contact with. So it was really nice to sit down, chat with them, and see how they are doing. We were also able to have a family home evening with a family we are teaching and it was a lot of fun to do object lessons with them, and see the light go on so to speak as it helps them make the connection. In other news, on sunday, we stopped by a member and they were just getting home from dairy queen. They had cherry di...
