The Field is White

Bonjour

This week was so awesome! The Lord just keeps blessing us! Last night we stopped a guy on the street and he was on a walk. He said he has actually been really interested in religion lately and been researching Christianity. He was like, wow its so crazy that you stopped me cause I've been wanting to learn about Christianity lately... Ever since he was a child, he always wanted to go to the Christian church. God truly does lead us when we are obedient!

We had a way sick lesson with our investigator Sachiko. I may have mentioned her before, she's a 30 year old woman with the CUTEST 3 year old daughter. Recently divorced and moved to Okinawa. She's been looking for a church lately and wanting God's help in her life. We were able to set a baptismal date with her this week! We also taught her the restoration and the spirit was so strong. Elder Campbell recited the first vision and she started crying! Crazy! Everyone was crying and she related herself to Joseph Smith and how she was searching for a church and asking God what was true. The spirit was so strong and she has been so prepared! I remember just looking at Elder Campbell and having an out of body experience. I just was like wow, this is what it's like being a missionary! Changing lives and bringing people to God! Bringing to spirit unto them so they can take those steps to change their lives. I love it! 

We were able to set another baptismal date with another one of our investigators! Lin! 17 year old Chinese kid! He messaged us a few days later and said his parents told him he didn't have time to meet with us so he dropped us and that was sad, but we're going to try to talk to his parents so we'll see how it goes! 

The field is white already to harvest! I love this work and this people! 

Till next 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
