Elder Dylan Sadler's Adventures in the Japan Tokyo South Mission

皆様、おはようございます! So, you remember last week how I wrote a pretty short email because we went to Costco and didn’t have any time and I said I’d do better next week? Well, next week has now arrived and instead of spending all my time writing you all a well worded email, we’ll be hiking Mt. Takao today. Since time is short once again, I’ll try to cover the highlights as I sit here on the train. よろしくお願いします。 1. P day last week was good. Costco and lots of pizza. 2. Went on exchanges with the zone leaders and had a great time. Learned about the importance of being real and how we can more effectively work together as a zone. 3. Taught English class which is always a lot of fun. Our students are the best. 4. Our English class students took Elder Low and I out to lunch at a sushi place that was far more expensive than we felt comfortable letting them pay for us. But, they refused our money and we all had a good time with the best sushi I have her placed upon my tongue. 5. Got to do tha...

What’s happening my party people? Not gonna lie, this past week has been rough. Real cold, investigators falling through, lots of “go home!”s, biking up and down hills, and loving every minute of it. Just another testimony to me that this work is true.   Not much time to write today. We’re making a Costco run up in Kawasaki. I’m excited. The important thing is, I’m still alive and happy. Hope everybody has a great week. 愛しています!    Elder Sadler Some sweet shrines/temples we found this week   Another One   And Another   Costco!  

How’s it hanging all my party people!? Another week of miracles here in the amazing land of Japan. It’s been quite the ride and I’m loving every minute of it. This past week wasn’t real busy so we did a lot of finding. And hark the herald angels were singing above us, for behold, many miracles did we see. This week started off not so usual as we had the opportunity to attend the Alex Boyé and Bless 4 concert in Kichijoji last week. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when the concert began with a opening hymn and prayer, but everything came together quite nicely. We started off with Bless 4 and it basically went straight into a rave party, so it was quite the transition from “Have I done any good in the world today” to “Let’s have a Party”. After Bless 4, Alex Boyé performed and it was awesome. Probably one of the hypest spiritual experiences I have had. There were some great songs performed and some powerful testimony shared. It was really a blessing to be able to attend. After our p...

Welcome everyone to Elder Sadler's Transfer 11 here in the Land of the Rising Sun! It’s been quite the adventure and I am excited for the times ahead. It’s strange to think how fast time flies. We got a year and a half down and only an unspecified amount of months left that we won’t talk about to go. As much as I miss everyone at home, the mission is the greatest experience of my life. I love the people, I love the gospel, and I love the Lord. Couldn’t ask for a whole lot more.   Not too much happened this past week. Just a lot of going out into the cold and talking to as many people as we can. We did have one way cool experience though this past Monday. So we had plans to meet with our homie Reb that night. The original idea was to meet up with him either at his apartment or at the church, but due to tight schedules on both ends, we ended Meeting on the second floor of the McDonalds near Haku-Raku Station. We bought some dinner and then sat down to have a good conversatio...
