Bake me a Cake

Hey!

What a crazy week!! A lot happened this week, we weren't able to do much Dendo or teaching cause of all the stuff that went down but it was fun!

So update on investigators or, "people being taught" as they say nowadays, Sachiko is progressing so well! She loves church! She also wants her daughter to grow up and be like one of the young women in the ward. This ward is the best! So yeah, she's doing really well. It was her birthday this week so we made a really ghetto cake in the rice cooker and made improvised frosting by using a blender to blend up sugar to make powdered sugar, cause it's way expensive here in Japan. But it wasn't thick enough so we threw in peanut butter to make it thicker. It turned out pretty OK! Then we made our own cake box! I was more impressed with the cake box than the cake itself haha. Then we got a ride to her house and left it in front of her door! She was way happy! But she said at first when she got home, she though someone left a bomb in front of her door and was way scared for a second haha! Then on Sunday some ward members invited us and her over to celebrate her birthday and it was so fun! We taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ while her daughter and the family's kids played. Even though it was super loud, screaming kids everywhere, the spirit was so strong and she was crying the whole time! She also talked about how this church and gospel is the thing she's been looking for her entire life.

Hisada is doing good as well! She also really enjoys church and is ready for baptism. We gave her the letter for her parents and she said they are going to write us one back to ask questions. So we'll see how it goes. We taught her about trials of faith though and how God blesses us if we rely on God through our trials. 

This week we had a special conference with Elder Wada and Elder Yamashita! Way cool and we learned more on how to be more Ammon - like missionaries. 

Then the next day we had a Family History Fair in Naha. Way awesome turnout! One of the families that comes to Eikaiwa came and stayed the whole time! They got really into it and we were able to teach them about temples and eternal families.

Today we went to the Peace Memorial Park for the Battle of Okinawa and it was way awesome. You never really learn about this part of the war in History class so it was way interesting. Way beautiful park too! 

Transfers are next week, hopefully I don't transfer! 

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
