Time's fun when you're havin flies πŸΈπŸ„πŸ» (Week 41)

By
Hello Everyone! I can't even believe that it's already Monday again. The weeks just get faster and faster all the time, but despite how fast the time flies, Elder Palomino and I have been out working hard and having a blast all at the same time. We have managed to talk to some pretty interesting (to say the least) people this week. We were able to hand out a couple Books of Mormon, preach some repentance, knock doors in the rain, and all that fun stuff. On top of all those things, the absolutely amazing members of the Yokosuka Military Ward have had us over every day that we were available this past week and our calendar is already full for the rest of the month. Needless to say, I have put on some weight since moving to the American Ward, but I'm not complaining too much haha. I am sad to report however, that Elder Palomino and I have not been very diligent in taking pictures (sorry Mom), but we will do a better job this week.

Recently, there has been a big push for using the Book of Mormon more often in our missionary activities. At Zone Conference and District Meeting this past week, we received various trainings on using the BoM more effectively. I feel like I have always used the BoM pretty effectively throughout my mission, but what I came to realize is that, it still wasn't enough! I have come to realize recently, how much of a wonderful tool the BoM actually is. Everything we know and teach as missionaries, comes from the Book of Mormon. I have found that through using the BoM, we are able to resolve any confusions or conflicts that our investigators might have. It can literally answer any question
(besides your math homework). Elder Palomino and I have set a goal to use the BoM more frequently and more effectively in our lives and in our proselyting. It is truest such an amazing book. I you haven't read it, read it! I promise you will learn so much and you will be able to find answers to whatever you might be facing in life.

It was good to hear from the few people that emailed me this past week. You guys are the best. I miss you and I love you. Thank you for your love and support. I couldn't have made it here without you. Don't wait for the world to change, take full responsibility of your actions and go change the world! 愛しています!

Temple P-Day (Week 32)

By
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:

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!
