Miracles Amongst the Busyness (Week 95)

Well, here we are, another week down and no one is really sure how we got here. I’m not sure where the time goes, but you know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun. This past week was slammed full of various meetings, splits, planning sessions, baptismal interviews, and various other events. Our schedule seems to fill up quickly these days, but it’s been a blast.

Amongst all of our busyness though, we have been blessed to see some amazing miracles. One that happened was this past Monday night during a zone blitz here in Hachioji. We broke the time up into two rounds so everyone would be working with two different people and doing two different types of dendo. During the first round, I worked with the Brazilian legend, Elder Melo. We handed out a ton of fliers for our English class and talked to some awesome people. For the second round, I had the opportunity to work with my good friend, a Elder Thorin. We hit the streets hard and talked to everyone. After a little while, we ran into this one kid who seemed way cool and said that he is a college student here in Hachioji. We talk for a little bit and come to find out that he is pretty into basketball and he had played with missionaries before in Shin-Yokohama. Once he said that, he started to look all to familiar so I pulled out my iPad and started scrolling through pictures. Turns out, Elder Thorin and I had met this guy over half a year ago when we were in Kohoku together. And now there we were, standing right in front of him together again. If that’s not direction from the Lord, I don’t know what is. We talked for a while, traded contact info and we’ll be meeting with him again soon.

Things have been way good recently. The Lord is taking good care of us. We have transfer calls coming up next week and I’m hoping to stay in the promised land of Hachioji but I’ll let you all know what happens next week! Until then, have a good one!

Also, it’s a little late, but never too late, Happy 4th of July! Never take our Liberty for granted. Freedom never was free.

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!

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:
