Transfer 4🇯🇵⛩ (Week 27)

Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a great week! We have received some exciting news here in Kunitachi this past week! On Saturday, we received transfer emails! Elder Handly, Elder Winn, and I will all be staying in Kunitachi! But, the exciting part is I will be receiving a new companion (my fifth companion in the field). His name is Elder Yara and he is from Okinawa (s/o to all my homies in Fukuoka mission right now). Anyway, Elder Yara will be my first Japanese companion so I am super excited. I plan to take full advantage of the opportunity of being with a native Japanese speaker. Hopefully it will really increase my skill in the language. On another note, I can't believe I'm already transfer four! It still feels like I just got here a couple weeks ago! Time flies when you're having fun I guess!

That's about all to report this week. There has been a big push for working with members and less actives in the Kunitachi Ward recently, so we haven't done a whole lot of finding, but that is okay! I am so grateful to have been called to serve on the Lord's errand. I have learned so much, but the best part is that it's not about me! It's all about the Savior and our brothers and sisters here in Japan! It's
amazing how much one is able to see when you look beyond yourself.

鯛焼
(Note from Barry - Google Translate says this is "Sea Bream".)

みくちゅじゅーちゅ 
(Note from Barry - this appears to be a different alphabet than the previous two. Google Translate says this is "Mikuchu".  Maybe that's the name of the drink they are sharing. Or maybe it means something totally different. I have no idea.)

Temple P-Day (Week 32)

Note from Barry (catching up for last week): Dylan had a temple P-day this week and said he didn't have time to write an email, but he did send a quick note to His mother and I to let us know that he is doing fine and that he received the vitamins and supplements that we sent to help boost his immune system.  We also received a quick note from a retired American doctor who lives in Japan and serves as a medical consultant for the missionaries.  He said that Elder Sadler saw a doctor on Friday who specializes in Bell's palsy and that everything is progressing as normal.  He is taking an antiviral and some vitamin B. Thank you for your continued prayers. Here is a picture that another missionary's mother posted on Facebook this week:

Set Apart

On Saturday September 10th, 2016 Dylan was set apart as a full time missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by our stake president, Peter M. Johnson.  There were a lot of family members there and it was an exciting and emotional day.  

Sunshine, Palm trees, and Freedom🌞🌴 (Week 42)

Hey everyone! I have actually zero time to write this week because we are going to Costco and shopping on base today. Way excited! Yesterday, we had interviews with president Warnick so p-day got moved to Tuesday. We will still have another temple p-day in two weeks though so two Tuesday p-days this transfer. Fun fun. Anyway, don't have time to write much but we took lots of pictures this week so they can tell the story. I love you all!!!!!! Btw, Happy 4th of July. I'm so glad I get to serve on Yokosuka base this 4th of July with some of the people who work so hard and sacrifice so much for our country. We are beyond blessed to live in such a wonderful country with the various freedoms we enjoy. I would encourage everyone to give that some thought. Never take it for granted. Happy 'Murica Day!
