Someone bit it and it wasn't me


It was my companion. We were biking down a little hill in a neighborhood, and Elder F was looking at the phone for directions. He then put it away, and went to apply the brakes to stop for a house, and he definitely hit his left brake, so he got bucked over the handlebars. I am in front of him, so I hear all sorts of ruckus and look back to see him laying flat on his back, and reaching up to catch his bike which was falling on him. It made for a very exciting 5 minutes. He knocked his front wheel out of alignment, twisted his seat, and had the chain fall off both the front and his back gears.

Last Monday was pretty sweet, we had a small BBQ and I had boar chops as well as venison burgers. You do all sorts of things while on a mission you would never expect. No one believed that I hadn't had boar before, and venison only once before. That's what I get for being a city boy.

Our relief society president is super awesome, we have met twice at her house to talk about one of the recent converts in the ward who needs some help. And she chastised us for not using members more, and getting them involved in the work. That goes back to me not wanting to be a bother to other people. But hopefully I can repent of that.

We had our follow up training meeting and that was a blessing and a half because it brought up and answered so many questions. And it was nice to hear that other trainers are having the same excitement and problems.






And that night I saw my trainer which was awesome. He was at the temple with a recent convert, and it was super awesome to see him even just for a quick chat.

Our members helped out, specifically the young women. The younger sister of an investigator of ours hadn't been meeting with us because she thought it was only for her sister, but some young women in the ward invited her to an activity and so she is interested in what her sister is learning now. Invitations to activities are great!

We saw Brenna this week, we were looking at videos to send to an Investigator and we saw the Mormon message all I needed and I was like, that's totally my cousin running. I had forgotten all about it. It was pretty funny, I was like, I know someone famous!

We talked about the talk by Elder Stevenson "SpiritualEclipse" in elders quorum. It was interesting because someone took it even further about we need the moon as well as the sun, but when the moon blocks out the sun that is what causes the problems. If you take phones for example, they can be good as long as we don't block out the gospel with them.

Somewhere sunny and 63 (which is perfect weather)

Biking in the rain, boo
Elder F flipped hard over his handlebars
Ward members are the key

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

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...
