Watermelon is a good idea 11/5/2018


Last Monday we were invited to carve pumpkins, however we decided that you can carve a watermelon and actually eat the insides. So that was what we did and it was a big success, so much so that I will probably carve watermelons the rest of my life, we also made watermelon juice with all of the juice we squeezed out. 

We got to go to two Halloween parties because we cover 2 wards. Colton 1st had their party the day before Halloween, it was a tri-ward event and it had hundreds of people, we then got to display our watermelon to the adoring public. The Rialto 2nd ward had theirs more focused to the kids so we were able to talk to parents for 2 hours while the kids ran around, they also had a cotton candy maker which definitely was a plus. 
 
We also were able to do some super fun service, a member had a deck that was falling apart, so we got to help them demolish the deck. Destroying things is way too much fun. 

Then I went on exchanges with the Inland Empire Elders and they are the other Samoan ward and they cover pretty much the whole mission as well as quite a bit outside of the mission. So we went out side the mission and spent quite a bit of time out there. (For those who are not aware, it is really rare to leave the mission, most missionaries never leave when they are on their mission) 

Then we had a crazy Sunday where everybody decided to come to church in the Samoan ward, there were 2 non member families, a firmed of a recent convert, and quite a few less active families as well, so it was super crazy.

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

The Summertime 7/29/2019

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.

You can dance if you want to 11/12/2018

This week the highlight was definitely practicing with the Rialto 2nd Elders quorum for the dance they are preforming at a ward party on the 17th. It was a lot of stomping and smacking and it was sweet. The only downside is that it is hard for us to sing along, because the song is like a nation favorite, so they don't need the words, and so we end up just trying to mimic what they are singing.  We also bought 9 lbs of meat at costco, last week, Elder T likes eating meat, so I infidelity have been eating a whole lot of bacon. Also we had pizza with BBQ pull pork on it. It was fantastic. We also finally got back in with the family that dropped us a month back, they said that they loved having us come over, but they don't want to read the Mormon book anymore. So that was a super bummer, she did say that she would come to church just to see what it was like. In other news I went on exchanges to the other Samoan Elders again, and at 5 in the morning their fire alarm ran ...
