Week 3 in Sagamihara (Week 66)

By
Note from Barry:  Once again Elder Sadler wrote a very brief email to family.  He said this last week has been eventful with Christmas coming up and the normal activities of serving a mission.  Here is a brief quote:
"I love the Christmas season, and celebrating as a missionary just makes it that much better. Being able to go out and serve and teach a non-Christian country about the true meaning of Christmas is an opportunity like no other. It can be difficult, but I wouldn't have it any other way."

He will be transferred this Wednesday to a new area - Kohoku, with a new companion, Elder Low.  He expressed his gratitude for the love and support that he continues to receive through your emails.  We look forward to our opportunity to Skype with him next weekend.

I am including a mission map so you can see where he will be.

Thinking Out Loud 🎸 ⛩ (Week 54)

Hello! How was everyone's week? This past week was a blast here in Yokosuka. With everything from bowling to basically swimming through the rain. The missionary life is great and I wouldn't have it any other way! For all those who aren't missionaries out there, I would recommend! It's been the best year of my life so far and things are looking greater and greater all the time. This past week, we did a lot, but I'll share a couple of our adventures. Last Monday, we decided to go bowling on base again. I didn't play nearly as well as the previous week, but it was fun haha. In the evening, we had a lesson planned with our investigator Manuel. Long story short, the lesson fell through, so we hit the streets. Talked to some way cool people and made some good contacts. Tuesday was lots of Streeting and Japanese Class. Fun stuff. On Wednesday , we did a lot of Streeting during the day and had dinner with the Cribb family. They took us out to Chili's in base and ...

Merry Christmas! (Week 15)

By
Another great week in Japan! My first Christmas in Japan and it has been great. I will say, it is nothing like America though. In Japan, Christmas is purely commercial. No purpose, no caroling, no Savior. It is a very strange thing (and a sad thing as well) to experience, but it has provided lots of opportunity for Elder Dowdle and I to teach the true meaning of Christmas. One great experience we had was just yesterday on Christmas Day. We went caroling as a ward in the local Eki (train station). Lots of people were stopping to listen to us and  even recording us with their phones! It was such a neat experience to be caroling in Japanese and still feel the meaning behind the songs and see all the passer-byes get to experience those songs about the Savior as well. What an amazing opportunity we have (not just missionaries) to share this wonderful message about the Savior. In this past week, we have been really busy leading u...
