The worth of a life is greater than a birthday cake

Last monday we played pickleball, which I actually am a fan of. I guess I am old. 


But we also had dinner with F who made fried chicken, and it was delicious. He is a great fellowshipper for L, he is very good at keeping things real. When we invited L to get baptized she asked S, what do you think, and he runs in from cooking dinner and yells at her "THIS IS YOUR DECISION DON'T LOOK AT ME, DON'T LOOK AT S, THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM" then walks back into the kitchen. He is a beast, we stopped by on Sunday to introduce another member to her, and we walk in and he is watching the super bowl, and he says to us "I am not turning this off, so you better have the lesson outside. It was hysterical, we had the lesson on the porch and we could hear him hooting and hollering, and screaming about cheating. And when it was over, we went in and he was so happy, so we knew that the Eagles won, which is cause for national celebration. 

But L is doing great, she passed her interview, and she is inviting a lot of friends and family to the baptism, it should be packed. We taught her about prophets and why they are so important and she made that connection that prophets are the spokespeople for God.

They also have a puppy.


Also since Elder W is leaving they got us a birthday cake for us. Both of our birthdays are definitely at the end of April. But we definitely got a cake. We were biking back and I definitely took a corner on a sidewalk too sharply in the parking lot of our apartment complex and so my back bike tire fell into the corner and got stuck, and I stepped off the bike with the cake in my hands, and stuck the landing, but I stumbled forward over my handlebars, and ended up throwing the cake to save my life.

We also saw a bulldog fighting a polar bear, when we were going down an alley. Bulldogs look so goofy.

We were able to do some really good service this week, we helped tear up some carpet tack thingies. We took down some Christmas lights. The best one was definitely planting a garden, we got to do some manual labor which is the best. 

We had exchanges and I went back into a car, and I discovered at least in the winter, that being on bike is so much better than being in car.

I also saw Elder M, my follow up trainer, and got to hug him. He is going home tomorrow. He is such a beast.


Keep on chugging,
-Elder Bearman

Elder W, gonzo to Yucaipa
He is District leading, what a champ

I will see him Saturday

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...
