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!

Happy Easter! (Week 31)

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a great Easter! This is not really a weekly email and I will get straight to the point. This past week has definitely been an eventful one. Last Friday, I was diagnosed with this thing called Bell's Palsy. Scary. Last Wednesday, the right side of my lip was feeling a little weird and by Thursday , I lost all control of the muscle in the right side of my face. On Friday , I received a priesthood blessing and went to the doctor to get it checked out. It was definitely an expensive day. Had to see a nerve specialist, get a MRI and all that fun stuff. The bad news is, I have zero control of the muscle in the right side of my face and I'm on some meds for this week. Good news is, in a couple months I should be all good. Apparently it is due to a bit of a virus I've had recently on top of the stresses of being a missionary and that caused a bit of minor nerve damage. So I'm sorry in advance for all of my pics with no smiles in them thes

MTC Week 5

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great week! This week in the MTC has been great! Last Wednesday we got our new kohai (1st 3 week missionaries). They are great, and remind me a lot of when I first came in. Time really flies! We will be dai-senpai (3rd 3 week missionaries) in 6 days . [Note from Barry: I looked up the translation of kohai, senpai, and dai-senpai. Here's what I gather: Missionaires going to Japan are in the MTC for about 9 weeks. Every 3 weeks a new group of missionaries to Japan comes in. kohai = junior student (first 3 weeks in the MTC) senpai = advanced student or upperclassman (2nd 3 weeks in the MTC) dai = great or big, so dai-senpai = the most senior students (last 3 weeks)] Last Friday marked our one month mark. Only 23 left in the mission, and time is just getting faster and faster. Saturday marked our half way point in our MTC experience. The first 2 or 3 weeks were rough, but these past few have been great. The five other eld

The Beginning of the End ⛩ (Week 97)

Have you ever just walked outside and been like, wow, you know, it’s really really hot out here and it probably can’t get any hotter than this? And then you walk out the next day and realize it got even hotter... We’ll, if I had to sum up our week this past week, that’s how I’d describe it. Hachioji truly is 太陽の町. It’s been rough, but we’re hanging in there and having some fun along the way. In other news, this past week was transfers, and there has been some major changes. First off, I’m still here in Hachioji (blessings from Heaven), but Elder Gill transferred to my old area Yokosuka, and my new companion is the one and only Elder Matsunaga from Yamaguchi-Ken. On top of that, our zone has doubled in size and now we cover the entire Machida Stake rather than just the western half. Yea, I just thought last transfer was busy. We’ve been running around like chickens with our heads cut off working with Stake leaders, organizing all our districts, planning zone conference, and coordinatin
