Malo le soifua 9/10/2018


This week I started out with a hike up into the mountains to go see a waterfall. It was a heavily visited trail, as can be seen by the graffiti everywhere, so that was pretty cool. It was nice to see that there is running water in Southern California somewhere. 

Then the car we get a ride, in to and from district meeting died, so another car had to go buy some jumper cables. Then that car wouldn't start the next morning and it was being used in transfers so we had fun getting that running at 8 in the morning in a parking lot. 

We also pounded around town super hard and said goodbye to people so that was alot of miles and biking super hard, it was one last hurrah for being on bike. 


In my new area, I learned that the Samoans pronounce there g, "ng" and it is kinda a back of the throat sound. It is super hard and I will definitely be spending the rest of my life trying to figure it out. But otherwise Samoan is great fun, I almost can say a prayer now, and most of the ward does speak English so I can use it. However all three hours of worship services are in Samoan, so I had no clue what was being said the whole entire time. 

I also had Chipotle for the first time in about 5 months, it is still super good. 

I also gave a talk in the English ward I am serving in, Colton, it was good stuff but all over the place. Just like me in general. 

But it is cool yet again to see how awesome the members are in this ward, and how even in a different language they are teaching the same things at different congregations.

Elder T
is my new companion, he is from Hurricane Utah, yet another place that pronounces its name weird to make it self more unique. He is approximately 6 foot 6 and has been serving in the area for 3 months now. He has been out a little less than I have. He is a nerd and loves board and video games.


Hope you all have a great week
-Elder Bearman

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...
