Po up... Heh shot...๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ธ (Week 70)

ใ“ใ‚“ใซใกใฏ my dudes! Hope everyone had a ็ด ๆ™ดใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ week! It's been pretty good over here in the land of the rising sun. Elder Low and I have been able to get out in the freezing cold a lot this past week continue fighting the good fight. As much as I love our sub-zero adventures though, I am definitely looking forward to the warmer days ahead! Despite all of that though, we have been able to meet some awesome people and see some amazing miracles this past week.

Last Monday, we met with our homie Takuma. Grabbed some dinner together and did some good "get to know you". As Elder Low was showing him some pictures of his family, he came across one picture that had a temple in the background. Takuma noticed the giant white castle and naturally asked about it, which led to a long conversation about temples and God's Plan of happiness for us. The blessing of the temple are everywhere, whether they are providing us with eternal families or
simply leading into a discussion about God's plan. Next miracles came on Wednesday night. Elder Low and I were out knocking on some doors in an area that is a little further out in our area. We had knocked several doors but weren't seeing a whole lot of success. Finally it came down to the last two minutes before we had to leave and I said let's knock two more doors. So we knock the first one, nothing. We move on to the final door of the night, ring the door bell, and out comes this nice middle aged lady who we were able to talk to about the Plan of Salvation. She shared with us some of her background and concerns and expressed an interest to learn more. We will be visiting her again this Wednesday. Other than that, we have been hitting the streets, trying not to freeze, and saving everyone we can along the way. Life doesn't get much better!

Looking forward to this coming week as well. On the menu we have Zone Conference this Wednesday and hopefully a couple lessons with investigators! Also much love coming from Japan! To all my family and friends out there, keep being awesome. Trust in the Lord and He'll make it happen captain. Hope everyone has a great week and survives the freezing temperatures. Roll tide!

Thanks for the Ride⛩๐Ÿ† (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...

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.  

MTC Week 1

Wednesday September 21, 2016 My p-day in the MTC is every Wednesday so expect emails then. I can read emails any day but I can only reply on p-day. I will admit, the first week of The MTC was really really tough. It was incredibly frustrating trying to learn the language, and trying to adapt to my new, very scheduled lifestyle. Since Sunday, I've been able to settle in a little more though and come to terms with having to be patient with myself as I learn the language and further learn the Gospel. On our second day in the MTC, we received our first investigator, Ohira san, who we have been teaching in Japanese! The first lesson was a total bomb shell, but as we have learned to stop trying to rely on ourselves and our own teaching skill, and start relying on the Spirit to teach, we have seen much success in just these few days. My companion is Jones Chลrล. We are not very much alike at all, but we work well together and generally keep each other in balance. Chab Chลrล is our dis...
