Come hear a prophet's voice! ⛩ (Week 30)

皆さんこんにちは! Hope everyone had a great week this week! Elder Yara and I have been working pretty hard this week. Remember how I said the weather would be great this past week? Well it was fantastic... for like half of one day, then right back into the rain. Believe me, I want some good pictures of the Sakura as well, but we haven't exactly had time for a photo shoot yet. Haha, anyway, this past week was not great for dendo, but it was a blast. We spent a lot of time visiting potential investigators, making lots of phone calls, and working with members. In other words, our area book is looking pretty dry right now, but we are working hard to find those who the Lord has prepared to receive our message.

This past week, we had Zone Conference in Fussa. I always enjoy being able to attend those trainings and get together with homies in the zone. It was way good. Anyway, after that, we taught Eikawa, which is always way fun. I love being able to teach English! Plus the students are all just so great! I teach the advanced class so all my student's English is already pretty good. It's way fun getting to discuss the various things we talk about in class lol. After that, we spent the rest of the week doing dendo. Always a blast. This weekend though, we got watch General Conference! What an amazing opportunity to hear from the prophet of the Lord! We spent a lot of time sitting in a room watching a screen, but it was way good. I enjoyed many of the talks. Some of them seem to come under a new light, as I watch them as a missionary. It is such a privilege to bear the name of the Savior on my chest and stand shoulder to shoulder with those men as special representatives of him. This mission experience has definitely been the toughest thing I've ever done in my life, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Being a missionary is pretty much the best thing ever. I feel bad for everyone at home, because you don't get to be a full time missionary with me! To all my homies preparing to serve, get ready for the ride of a lifetime. Use time wisely, you only get it once! 皆さん愛しています!

Thanks for the Ride⛩🏆 (Week 102 - Last P-day!!!)

Today is a day of mixed emotions. As we come to the end of this two year adventure they call a mission, my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude and joy. The past two years have been an experience like no other, but I’m just grateful that the Lord saw fit to let me be a part of it and see his hand bless the lives of folks through me. There is a quote I saw once that I think sums things up pretty well. “Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. Most putts don’t drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time rail journey: delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” It has been truly h...

Typhoons, Lady’s Baseball, and Zone Conference⛩🇯🇵 (Week 98)

Well, it’s been quite the week over here in the Land of the Rising Sun. Once again, we’ve been stretched pretty thin with not a whole lot of time to come up for air, but it’s been a blast and we’ve been blessed to see all kinds of miracles. To start with, the beginning of last week was all meetings and planning for Zone Conference this past Thursday . Elder Matsunaga and I and the STL’s gave a zone training on becoming experts in PMG which went really well and lined up perfectly with President Warnick’s trainings, and then Elder McDonald and I did a musical number with President Warnick in guitar which went as well as it could with zero practice lol. Either way though, we sang “I’ll go where you want me to go” and the Spirit was strong, so that’s all that matters. Next pretty big event this past week was our typhoon this past Saturday . We talked to some pretty concerned Japanese people and got lots of calls from leadership, but everything was completely fine. I tried explain...

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.
