I'm getting a son!!

Hey! 

Transfers were this week and... 

I'm getting a son!!
For those of you who don't know mission lingo, I'm training a new missionary!  I'm also staying in Itoman so that's awesome. Elder Campbell is transferring to the beautiful island of Amami and going senior there! I'm so excited for him! I'm sad he's going to miss the baptism of Hisada and Sachiko though. 

This week was a little bit slow, Elder Campbell got sick and so we had to stay in a couple days. But the work is still moving! 

So at church last week, there was this girl that came that I never saw before, so I said hi and it turns out she wasn't a member, she was the sister of a girl who got baptized a few years ago. The mom is also a member. So we visit their house one night and had a way awesome talk with the member sister. She really wants her sister to get baptized so we made a plan to start teaching her! We'll see what happens! Pretty much the first time I tried working with a part member family. So I'm not sure what I'm doing but oh well haha! 

One interesting thing this week. So Nagayama, the guy that got baptized when I was in Oroku, has recently got into politics. So we're riding our bikes down a street and he calls us saying he saw us and told us to turn around. So we turn around and he's standing in front of this political office. He tells us to come in and we're like uh... Okay haha so we go in and there's three old ladies. At first their nice but then they were surprised when we turned down the tea they gave us. I told them we believe in this thing called the word of wisdom and we don't drink tea. And started teaching these three old ladies. Then they started getting kinda not nice and telling us that tea is healthy and that we shouldn't be trying to procelyte and preach to people, trying to get them to throw away their beliefs and Anse stores, and the thing that's been passed down for generations. Anyways, it was cool because as we testified to these ladies I was able to feel the spirit and these ladies actually listened to us. 

Oh I also got some sort of nose cancer inside my nose and got to go to the doctor for the first time and he removed it. Then I had to have a cotton ball stuck up my nose for 24 hours to stop the bleeding. 

Not much else this week! 

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
