There are not many pictures

See what happens as a mission goes on is you get quite lazy at writing emails, so the questions have been cut as of today.

One of the highLIGHTs of my week was we were replacing a bulb for an older lady at night and we were screwing the light back in, and I was watching and the light turned on and blinded both of us.

District meeting was great they had a bell curve for the spirit over the course of a meeting, and how we need to commit them at the height of the bell curve, and let them feel the Spirit after we leave. And that made so much sense to my math mind, it was excellent.

We also had an intresting experience where our member present started bashing with an investigator. We weren't sure what to do. So we sat there and smiled. We haven't gone back yet but it seemed as if the investigator could tell the difference between us and the member, so hopefully he will talk to us again. Don't bash, like ever.

We also talked about how we should work with members just like they are investigators. Also they told us that we should be asking about them not the other way around, which is always hard, since we usually know alot more about the member than they do us.

We also had interviews which took place in the mission home, the Dixon's are great as per usual.

Pickaxes, are alot of fun. We were digging out roots for an elderly ladies garden and we were just going to town on the dirt with those pickaxes. Naturally there was many, many, Minecraft jokes. But pickaxes are my second favorite tool, behind the Book of Mormon. 

A member also took us to Jack in the Box, my review is less than positive.

Also this past week I have been blessed to be reading in the beginning of Alma. All about missionary work, and basically the idea is if you study what they do and manage to replicate it, your are going to be a beast missionary. And so that is my study guide so to speak for the rest of my mission.

We had another couple wander into church again, and he asked us how we know God has a physical body. And we were like, well, that is more than a quick answer, so we sat down and had a lesson. That was pretty sweet.

They just get shorter and shorter don't they?

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...
