Elder Dylan Sadler's Adventures in the Japan Tokyo South Mission

Hello everyone! It has been another great week here in Yokosuka. In all honesty, I can't even remember a whole lot of what happened, but that's because we were working hard and having a blast! I'll do my best to cover the highlights though. To begin with, last Monday we had plans to do a district p-day and go bowling, but it ended up being a little more expensive than we anticipated, so we went shopping as a district. Which turned out good because I had some birthday shopping to do anyways haha. I ended up buying a new pair of shoes, getting my bike fixed up, and bought matching pajamas as a district. It was a blast. I'll attach pics of the pajamas below. During the week, Elder Taniguchi and I went out in the heat and went to work. We talked to lots of cool people so hopefully something good will come of it. We were also finally able to meet with Andrew (our referral from Bro Peacock) this week as well! He is a way cool guy and I am excited to work with him. On Satur...

皆さんこんにちは! This past week has been great here in Yokosuka! And thank you all so much for all the birthday emails and all the love. You guys are the best! In all honesty, nineteen feels the exact same as eighteen haha. And as a missionaries, we get to celebrate our birthdays by going to work and teaching about Jesus Christ. Probably best birthday ever. This past week hasn't been quite the adventure of the previous weeks, but it's been good. Last Monday, we went to Joga-Shima park at the bottom of our area and caught lots of rain. It was a lot of fun but we came home soaking wet. After Monday , it continued to rain the whole week. Elder Taniguchi and I both woke up Tuesday morning feeling pretty under the weather, but decided to go out and work anyway. We were in the rain all day on Tuesday as well. On Wednesday , we woke up and decided that it probably wasn't the best idea to go out again, so we stayed in. We ended up staying in the rest of the week as well to try and rec...

皆さんこんにちは! Hope everyone had a great week. To begin with, I apologize for the short emails the past two weeks. Hopefully I can do better today! I'll get strait into it. This past week absolutely flew by, but it was definitely a week of miracles! Elder Taniguchi and I spent a lot of time walking the street and knocking on doors, but not a whole lot of success. We have been able to talk to lots of cool people but pretty much all of them have fallen through. We were kind of feeling in a slump and weren't really sure how to get out of it. We had worked hard all week and eventually Thursday rolls around and we have weekly planning. We talked about some things, set some goals, and came up with a couple game plans to get us going again. After weekly planning, we are making our way home when we get a call out of nowhere from some random number. His name was Andrew and he told that he had just met with Bro Peacock (quick shoutout to Bro Peacock for being the best!), who is a Chaplin i...

Hello all of my lovely home skillets! Hope everyone had a great week! Due to temple p-day and a few other detours through Tokyo, I have zero time to write emails today. So everyone doesn't receive one, don't take it too personally haha. Just know that I am still alive and this last week was pretty good. We got to visit with some way cool families and talk to some interesting people. There is nothing quite like the mission life. Big shoutout to everyone who emailed me this week! You guys are the best! Keep working hard and I love you lots! Until next week! サドラー 長老
