Out of the Dark Year🌅⛩🎉 (Week 68)

How's it going all of my beautiful friends and family!? Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years! Due to our New Years adventures here in Japan, I don't have any time to write today, so I hope all the pictures will do! New Years is a big deal in Japan because it is the Land of the Rising Sun. This morning we woke up super early and trained down to Enoshima Island to see the first Sunrise of 2018. It was awesome and I had a lot of opportunity to reflect on how blessed we really are to be a part of God's beautiful creation. He has a plan for us. I don't always understand that plan, but I will always trust it. Heavenly Father lives and He loves all of us!

In other news, I just finished my dark year (the year that I don't see my family)! A mission is amazing and it's been quite the adventure. I love the mission and I love the Lord. I also love my family though and am excited to see them again later this year. Keep on keepin on! 愛しています!

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:

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!
