Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto🤖🇯🇵⛩ (Week 69)

What's up all my party people!? Hope everyone's boats are still floating! As some of you may already know, お正月 (New Year's) is a really big deal here in the Land of the Rising Sun. People go back to
their home towns and party with family. So basically anywhere that isn't a "traditional" area per say, turns into a ghost town. In other words, the dendo has been rough because there's no one to talk to lol.
Despite all that though, we were able to be in several members homes for dinners this past week and let me tell you, it was awesome. I can't even tell you how many times, I've walked into a member's home and thought to my self like "Oh man, there are six missionaries here. There's no way this will feed all of us." And then by the time we leave everyone is about to roll over and die from eating so much and the members are just like, "you guys barely ate anything. Here, take all this other food! Oh, and we forgot desert!" Oh well, there are worse problems to have I guess.

Other than Shogatsu and everyone being out of town though, it's been a pretty good week. In the way of investigators, it's looking pretty rough right now. We were able to meet with our homie Reb from the Philippines this past week. He met missionaries for the first time a while back so it was the first time to meet him for Elder Low and me. He's a cool guy though. Solid Christian background so we are excited to try to work with him more in the future. Other than that, a couple others are starting to come out of the works this coming week but I'll keep you updated as we go along. We just gotta continue to get out and find some new people to teach!

I appreciate the emails and the updates on life! Hope everyone has a good week and a happy New Year. Make some good resolutions and let's all become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ. Until, next week, my brethren, adieu.

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.  

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!  Zone p-day last week (Soccer and Ultimate Frisbee)  Housing by the bay We climbed the highest mountain, to the highest house, to the highest chamber, and there was ...

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:
