I have been invited to baptise someone in 4 years!

It was an interesting week, but that is every week as a missionary.

A member took us to a golf course last week, because he is fairly wealthy and Elder Williamson loves golf. I made par twice so I am pretty much a professional. We also had dinner with one of my favorite families, every time we have dinner they talk about the weirdest things, this time it was whales. And every time it ends with Brother G saying I would rather be homeless than spend eternity with these two, and the wife says, we can arrange that. They are so funny, because that is how the diner always end. Trust in marriage. 

The first presidencay announcement thing was fun. I am excited to hear from Elder Oaks more often. His talks are a bit doctriny but since I am on a mission that makes me pretty stoked. The Q&A was hilarious, I really liked their answer to the Church's stance on LGBT talking about the love of God and the Law of God. People should really watch that so they too can know understand what the Church (and God's) stance on those questions.




We had a training on how to count homeless people which is what we will be doing on Thursday to see how much money the county gets for them, it should be interesting. Apparently some Elders will get to go into the wash on 4 wheelers, with police to count the homeless camps on the wash. That would be super fun.

L is a members friend, who had met with missionaries when she was living with her parents, but her parents wouldn't let the sister missionaries come back. Fast forward a couple years and she is rooming with her friend, and so when we stopped by we started teaching her. She is so excited to be baptized, like that is almost all she talks about, which is so infectious, we just have to teach quickly and well, so she can understand the gospel. We are so excited for her, and she can't wait for her daughter to get baptized... in 4 years, she asked her which elder do you want to baptize you? and she pointed at me, so in 4 years, we will see what happens. She really understands agency and family. Every discussion leads back to that.

We had an awesome lesson with some investigators we have been meeting with for a while. They look so different from the first time we met them. Elder W described it as they just looked so much more, vibrant.

On friday we discovered how much tracting doesn't work in our area, needless to say, unless it is inspired we will try to never do that again. 3 hrs, 1/5th of the doors opened, and our longest conversation was about 2 minutes where the guy said, he liked the church because of our stance on LGBT but he would never join it.

One of the YSA elders, Elder B, got food poisoning so they were kind enough to let us borrow their car to go up into the hills to help some people move in. Moving people in and out is quite a bit of fun. We had dinner with yet another one of my favorite families, they have a son on a mission so they spoil us rotten, also they both are extremely sarcastic which is great fun. We also biked down Rossmont. It is a big steep hill, which is so much fun.

Also it was super cold this week, it got down to like 55. It was terrible.

Just Keep Swimming,
Elder Bearman 

L
is sooper dooper stoked
We have to teach her a lot

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...
