Yea, I'm just gonna take a week...✌🏼☀️πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ (Week 49)

ηš†γ•γ‚“γ“γ‚“γ«γ‘γ―! 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 recover. On Saturday though, we woke up feeling a little better and were able able to attend a Ward service activity on base. We had the wonderful opportunity to pull weeds around the Chapel of Hope in the humid heat of August. Sun beating down on us, sweat in our eyes, dirty hands, and living the dream. Reminded me a lot of home actually haha. It was good to get out of the apartment and put in some manual labor, but by the time we finished, Elder Taniguchi and I realized that we weren't feeling as good as we thought we were so we went back and stayed in the apartment for the rest of the afternoon. Caught a few z's in the afternoon and woke up feeling a bit better again so Elder McDonald and I went with one of our investigators named
Josh, up to Kamiooka missionary culture night. Each of the missionaries gave presentations about their home countries/states/provinces. There were presentations about Utah, Oregon, Texas, Hokkaido, Kansai, and Micronesia. The only thing they were missing was some Sweet Home Alabama haha! It was way fun though and Josh had a great time. Anyway, we didn't get to go out as much this week, but it was great. Got in some good study sessions and caught up on some sleep!

Sorry if this week was kinda lame haha. I don't like being sick just as much as the next guy, but it is what it is I guess. The work is progressing though! Sometimes it's slow and difficult, but we are
blessed to see miracles from the Lord all the time. Once again, thank you so much for the all the wonderful emails and the love and support. I'll give you all a big hug one day haha! Anyway, 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!
