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

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...
