The South Will Rise Again🔥💯 (Week 79)

Howdy howdy! Hope y’all had a mighty fine week! The past week on this side of the planet has been one of tough goodbyes but lots of excitement for the future. Last Thursday we had transfers! Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to the mountainous paradise that is Kohoku and good bye to the amazing people that live there. It wasn’t easy, but there will be quite the plethora of good times to come! After six consecutive transfers, I have officially kissed my Yokohama thunder-thighs goodbye and am now serving in the area of Yamato as zone leader in the Fujisawa east zone. Super excited for the new area and the opportunity to work with such amazing people!

Honestly, I can’t remember too much of what happened this past week. Transfer week is always a bit of a blur, but since Thursday, we have had quite the adventure. So, on Thursday, I made the transfer to Yamato and teamed up with my new companion - none other than the legendary Elder Harrison from Texas (hence the subject line of this weekly email, lol). He’s the greatest and we’re gonna have quite the ho-down together. When I arrived, we went straight to Planning. Planning for investigators and planning for the zone (we have zone Conference coming up this Wednesday so there’s plenty of planning to be done, haha). That took most of the day. On Friday, we had the opportunity of going up to Kichijoji for New District Leader/Sister Training Leader/Zone Leader training. Received lots of great revelation and it’s always a pleasure to be with President Warnick. On Saturday, we had a couple other meetings, and on Sunday, we had church. The members here are way awesome and I’m excited to work with all of them! In between all of those moments, we have been meeting with tons of people and trying to talk to as many new ones as we can. We’ve seen lots of miracles and I’m way excited for the future!

Not too much to report on this week, and amongst all the craziness, we didn’t have too much time to take pictures, but I’ll try to do better next week! All that matters is, the Church is true, missionary life is the best life ever, and I feel blessed to be a part of it. Hope everyone has a great week and sends me lots of emails about it! 愛しています!

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 Chōrō. We are not very much alike at all, but we work well together and generally keep each other in balance. Chab Chōrō is our dis...

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.
