間も無くWhite-Fun 駅🎄⛩🎅 (Week 67)

Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad! メリークリスマス! What's happening everybody!? Sorry it's been forever but the good news is, I'm still alive! It's been a very eventful past few weeks but long story short, I'm now in Kohoku with some awesome missionaries (ex. Elder Budge) and an awesome companion named Elder Low. Today, I am suffering from a severe case of writer's block and I honestly have no idea what to write, but things have been good. We have been crazy busy with Christmas parties, Sacrament meetings, emergency transfers, and all the other holly jolly activities of this wonderful season. Also had a great opportunity to Skype home yesterday morning as well. I love my family and I love modern technology that allows me to call home twice a year. I love the Christmas season and I love being a missionary here in Japan sharing the true meaning of Christmas with the Japanese people. Second and last Christmas as a missionary but it's been a lot of fun!

Sorry I couldn't write a decent weekly this week, but everyone can be content knowing that it's been a Merry Christmas and I love you all (Elder Budge loves you all as well). We've got some fun activities planned today so I will end here, but I hope everyone has a great Christmas and I'll see ya next year! Keep being the greatest and send me emails about your Christmas (dylan.sadler@myldsmail.net)! I love to hear from everybody! 愛しています!

Typhoons, Lady’s Baseball, and Zone Conference⛩🇯🇵 (Week 98)

Well, it’s been quite the week over here in the Land of the Rising Sun. Once again, we’ve been stretched pretty thin with not a whole lot of time to come up for air, but it’s been a blast and we’ve been blessed to see all kinds of miracles. To start with, the beginning of last week was all meetings and planning for Zone Conference this past Thursday . Elder Matsunaga and I and the STL’s gave a zone training on becoming experts in PMG which went really well and lined up perfectly with President Warnick’s trainings, and then Elder McDonald and I did a musical number with President Warnick in guitar which went as well as it could with zero practice lol. Either way though, we sang “I’ll go where you want me to go” and the Spirit was strong, so that’s all that matters. Next pretty big event this past week was our typhoon this past Saturday . We talked to some pretty concerned Japanese people and got lots of calls from leadership, but everything was completely fine. I tried explain...

Thanks for the Ride⛩🏆 (Week 102 - Last P-day!!!)

Today is a day of mixed emotions. As we come to the end of this two year adventure they call a mission, my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude and joy. The past two years have been an experience like no other, but I’m just grateful that the Lord saw fit to let me be a part of it and see his hand bless the lives of folks through me. There is a quote I saw once that I think sums things up pretty well. “Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. Most putts don’t drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time rail journey: delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” It has been truly h...

One For the Books🇯🇵🏆⛩ (Week 101)

This past weeks has definitely been one for the books. A lot has happened and we don’t have a whole lot of time to write today so I’ll cover the highlights. 1. Last Monday, we had Zone p-day and zone blitz over in Machida. Got to ball up a little bit on the court and top it off with some family history dendo that night. We asked everyone to prepare and bring their own pedigree chart and then a couple blank ones to hand out. It was a lot of fun and a huge blessing to be able to use my own family stories to invite the people of Japan to come unto Christ. 2. Tuesday, we had a combined Kofu and Hachioji District Meeting. Had lots of good trainings and learned a lot. Also had the opportunity to write a gospel haiku. Anyone who knows me, knows that language arts isn’t my specialty, but I think it turned out pretty good. 善に向けて、悔い改めを、清めなり 3. On Wednesday we taught a lesson to our friend Sanosaka San. Talked a lot about the gospel of Jesus Christ and how faith leads to repentance and repentanc...
