The Empire Strikes Back🚀⛩ (Week 50)

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 Saturday, we had a big "American Cookies" making event with a bunch of Japanese people. It was way fun! Got to meet some way cool people and ate way
too many cookies. No regrets haha. After the cookie event, we had a great dinner appointment with the Franklin Family! I don't want to pick favorites, but they're pretty much the best. It will be sad to
see them go later this year. On Sunday, we finally had our Special Sacrament meeting! Elder Taniguchi and I had two investigators lined up to attend but unfortunately both of them fell through. A lot of the friends that were invited by members fell through as well, so it was just like a normal sized meeting. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty disappointed. It turned out to be a great service in the end though. There were lots of fantastic talks and beautiful musical numbers. The spirit was way strong. Today, we are going to Kamakura and I am pretty excited. There is lots of sweet Japanese history and I'm probably going to spend too much money so I'll send pictures next week.

It was good to hear from everyone this week and it sounds like things are going good. Hope everyone has another great week and sends me lots of emails! I look forward to hearing from you all. Until next week,
愛しています!

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.  

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:

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!
