The star of this week... JENNY!


This week was a week where the attention was on my bike, Jenny. It started off well with friday the first super hot day pushing 114, where I ran over a staple. So I picked them out of my tire, and the tube seemed to be holding air. Then we went out biking and the heat expanded the tires letting all of the air out. So after limping back to the apartment, and patching it up, back out we went. However my tire lost all of its air again, so figuring that I am a dingus and can't patch tires I tried to repatch it. Well it lost its air again, and I discovered that the heat was just melting the glue to my patches so that was wonderful. So then an awesome member bailed us out. Let us come inside, water and cool off while he patched the tube and put in a different one. Then the new tube started losing air, because the piece that seals the air in the valve came loose. So we biked back and fixed that. All of that over three days. So there was alot of time spent in the garage :)

BUT...we met quite a few people that wanted us to come back and chat this upcoming week, there are 4 different families that we got in contact with in different ways that want us to come over and talk about Jesus Christ. So it has been a really exciting week and we are sooper dooper excited for next week. 

Also in fontana they believe strongly in fireworks on the 4th of July so everyone all over town buys fireworks and shoot them off, from 7:30 when it started to get dark, to about 11, people were blowing off fireworks. One of the pictures shows a launching site. We growled some hamburgers amd bacon wrapped hotdogs at our apartment, and enjoyed the show, also the days leading up to the 4th people were blowing off fireworks as well. Happy Birthday America!

We also are helping a someone out by walking their Dobermans in the morning, because they can't. So this was our first walk, with the person to show us the ropes. 

We also had zone sports last Monday, so we ran around for a couple of hours which is hard. Running is tough. 

Also an Elder in the apartment wasn't feeling well so I wemt with his companion to their church services. And it was in Spanish, so I got to learn that I don't know Spanish. I was at least able to recognize if someone was talking to me. But then it was weird to go back to the Baseline Ward services and have it all in English. My poor little brain got fried. But the spirit was there and it was cool to see that no matter where you go or what language it is in, the gospel remains the same. 

That is a lot of words so I will call it an email, 
Elder Bearman

This week it got hot
I got to go serve in Spanishland

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...
