Plant the Seed

Friends and Family!!

This week has been pretty crazy! Well, I could say that about every week haha! So right now we are celebrating one of the zone leaders birthday in Yamaguchi so I don't have much time to email this week! We made a cake with pokey sticks as candles haha way funny! 

So this week we were able to teach our investigator quite a bit and he is progressing very slowly. We shared Alma 32 and how our faith is comparable to a seed. He said his seed of faith is at the lowest level right now so we're taking it very slow! One thing I really like about that scripture though is that one thing about a plant and seed is that we have to continously nourish the seed or else it will whither away and die. That is so true. There are so many less actives in the church who have once had a firm testimony, but didn't nourish it so it withered and died. We've been working with this less active who hasn't been to church in 30 years and he doesn't remember anything. Way sad. There are so many less actives in this area. This area used to be way active. So this week we are going to focus on the members and hopefully further the work by doing that! 

Not too much to say about this week, Elder Hayashi is nowhere near as funny as Elder Johnson, he's pretty quiet, but I still love him! Haha anyways I am learning to love more everyday and grow more patient. I love being here and I love the work. I know that the Lord blesses us when we are strictly obedient and follow the words of His Prophets and Leaders. 

Love
Elder Lim

Breaking Records!

What a week!! Things have been crazy lately! After finally telling people that I'm going home we've been way busy with appointments! We also had a goodbye party at the church cause next week not everyone can come. Also this week at church was AMAZING! So a less active's wife and 4 kids (who are all active) finally returned home from America and it was so awesome having a full family at church!! Also a family from Aichi came and visited for obon. And then also a less active member came for the first time since moving to yatsushiro branch! All in all I think we had about 21 members at church!! That's a record by far! It was so fun! Also this week we made these sick notebooks for the members to use when they study the Scriptures! There's also a lot of questions that are in the Come Follow Me text that they can write in them. Scripture study is way important so we're hoping that they will all use the notebooks to enrich their studies! This week was also crazy

Happy Halloween

Hello! What a week! They fly by faster and faster! It's still pretty warm down here in Okinawa so we're way blessed! This week was transfer week, but luckily we didn't transfer so nothing too crazy on our end. But the Oroku Elders are both new and it's been fun working with such great Elders. Everyone is from Utah haha!  So this week we weren't able to meet with any investigators. We've actually kind of had to put them all on the shelf and start fresh again. Our main focus right now is contacting less actives and visiting members. We've seen a ton of miracles from doing so! There are a ton of lessons actives here. We met this one old lady who didn't even know she was a member! She was like, "oh yeah I was baptized but I don't really go to church or anything, like husband was a member though!" it's pretty funny to see, that's back before they had a baptismal interview and requirements haha.  We did meet with one potential

Wait the Extra Hour

Ola This week was awesome!! We were able to set a new baptismal date with another investigator! Her name is Riyo, from Osaka! We met her housing last week. We pressed the intercom on her door and at first she quickly said no to us, but then as we were leaving, she said wait! And asked if we were the American missionaries that teaches free English class. We said we were and so she was like, "I'm in the middle of work, come back tomorrow." so we go back the next day and she's not there, but we sit on her apartment stairs and drink drinks from a nearby vending machine cause it was pday, and we going to start housing the area at 6. It was 5pm and we didn't really have time to go home so we just decided to sit and wait. I stood up at 6 so start going and she walks up the stairs right at that time! She forgot and thought the appointment was at 6! She turns out to be way awesome and we are able to teach her the restoration and she agreed to meet again. We taught
