I saw two snowflakes

They were two Christmas ornaments my wonderful mom sent me :)

"The Book of Mormon is powerful evidence of the divinity of Christ. It is also proof of the Restoration through the Prophet Joseph Smith." So read it before you form an opinion of Mormons.

Next question, what is my favorite story from the Book of Mormon.

Last Monday a member wanted to go golfing and needed some people to go with him so he called us up and we went golfing. I was garbage, but it was fun because the member wasn't good either.

We also went caroling with the ward mission leader which was alot of fun. An investigator was invited but canceled last minute :(

We also had a family history lesson with some investigators we helped them do family history alot but they weren't as intrested in the restoration, bummer.


We had an interesting experience when we knocked on a door and both it and the door next to it opened, so we had a panicked few moments where we didn't know who to talk to or what to say. They saved us by both quickly saying, "No thank you" and closing the door.

Wednesday, we had zone conference and it started off with a temple trip, which was very relaxing, refreshing, and enlightening. We then had the meeting where we talked about becoming the message, which is Christ. We atalked about how people can see the light of Christ when we do what we are supposed to and are genuinely interested. Being genuinely interested is important because we have an image of cramming the gospel into people's faces, especially when they are busy.

I got sick for the first time out here, I got a bit of a cold and so Thursday and weekly planning was my only miserable day in the mission field. It was not good.

Shout out to my mom for being the best, we love the 12 days of Christmas, it always is a bright spot in our day.


We also met a man who gave us quite a bit of homemade bread, and it was good. He loves cooking bread, but he is gluten intolerant.

We also bought ice cream off a man pushing a trolley of ice cream around the streets, I got a bugs bunny one.

I read Enos and it was great, taught me alot about prayer, repentance, and caring for others. It was interesting that when he received a testimony he wanted to go share the good news with everyone else.

Friday was awesome because we had dinner with a guy who was a college swimmer, and he went a 53 in the 100 fly, better than me, not better than Alex, the crazy boy. we also stopped by a guy who turned out to be a soccer coach and he looks and acts alot like Coach A. So lots of geeking out about my two main sports.

We also had a great experience in priesthood yesterday, we were talking about the atonement, and a guy we are teaching raised his hand and shared how he wants to have a stronger relationship with Jesus Christ. And everyone pitched in their experiences with that exact thing and it was awesome. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, I know that because I have experienced the power of the atonement in my life and know that it must have been completed by a perfect being.

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...
