Missions are full of miracles


My favorite thing as a missionary is the miracle of people you are trying to get into contact with 
replying to your text, or returning a call. And that happened this week, so put that in the record books.

I met the bishop and he is awesome. He is a chemical engineer who is an inventor on the side. He made a coconut milk to biodiesel thing that is self sufficient and it is in Tonga. He also invented a nail polish remover that doesn't strip the nails. He named it after his daughter.

Meanwhile we had a bit of an ant genocide, the elders left some trash when they left and we just found it. We followed the trail of ants, so one of the Elders in the apartment got the Windex and sprayed them down. We have won the war.

We also did service for a man with a turtle named Toby. Everything else is irrelevant. 

We had an excellent zone conference, I learned how to be a missionary, it was great! We learned how to receive revelation, as well as helping the investigators receive it as well.

Also I had a really good tri tip

That awkward moment you fat thumb and send an unwritten email 6/24/2019

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

Happy birthday weekend to my sister and my mom, almost have the same birthdays. This week was hot and we had a lot of appointments so we were biking hard. It is good to be biking hard, but bad when you plan poorly and end up biking all over town and back. I went on exchanges to Spanish land and discovered just how far my Spanish has come and just how far it still has to go.  Joe is doing well, they decided that they want to get baptized as a family, so they moved back when they want to get baptized  Going to the temple this Wednesday -Elder Bearman Through Come follow me We met lots of new members Ward Choir is a blast The wiggles picture is for Anziano Higham, with his wiggles pinewood derby car.

Bye bye, Dixons 7/1/2019

This last Thursday the Dixons went home, they finished their three years. I was able to meet the McKinnonʻs, the new Mission President. I shook his hand and it was kinda awkward because everyone had suits and ties and my companion and I were doing service, so we were in grunge clothes. That is his first impression. We also went to the mission office in rancho Cucamonga to take some of their furniture and we put it in our mission office. So that took up our whole Wednesday. We were able to have a lesson with someone we are teaching named rich. He his a rough patch in life a few years back and he is still trying to pull out of the problems with that. But he has talked to missionaries forever, and at first he said he wanted to be baptized during the Christmas season, but he decided to move it up to Labor day season. Hopefully we can figure out a way to help him learn more about why baptism is a thing. We sang with the ward choir the past two weeks in sacrament meeting which h...
