When life gives you lemons...


You make a bunch of lemon based foods. The other elders in our apartment got 8 big, fat lemons. So
we cooked up lunch with it. We had super lemony chicken, super lemony green beans, and lemony rice. Then for dessert, we knocked down a quarter slice of lemon. It was a great lunch.

As can be seen from the pictures, we went to a member to see how they were doing, and they showed us all of their recent pet aquisistions, a corn snake, a cockapoo, and a kitten. 

The temple delivered on being a revelatory experience, as well as it was really calm and peaceful. Then we got back out to the grind. And the responsibility came back.

I would now like to take a break from the show to put in a plug for one of the best inventions ever, Slime. We were biking around as biking missionaries tend to do, and my back tire kept getting a slow flat, even after pumping it up again and again. So we head back to the apartment, and I was really sad because the back tire takes so much effort to take off and put back on again. So I was looking at the tire and saw a goat head (basically some demonic plant that drops a ball with two rose thin sized thorns) so I decided to pull it out (usually you just leave them in and they are fine because Slime is the best) so I pulled it out and air started hissing out, but I spun the bike tire around a couple times and the Slime patched it up. It was a lifesaver. Slime is great.

We had a great district meeting as well, we learned about how Diligence is giving 100% every day, but keeping in mind that your 100% changes from day to day.
Also at church, they talked about the atonement, and how when we repent, we are not accessing this magical Atonement, that we are sure how it works. We are very simply asking Jesus Christ for forgiveness. The atonement is super powerful.

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...
