The Beans faced hostility and bigotry from many neighbours, yet over the years they raised their family, built friendships, and earned a place within the community. Their work also helped the Church secure historic sites, including the Hill Cumorah. Their service is recorded as the second-longest mission in Church history. The story was later adapted into a feature film, The Fighting Preacher.
