General Conference

Hello!

This week was super busy! Elder Wheeler finally got his bike! It's pretty sweet I must say.  General Conference was way awesome and I got to watch the Sunday sessions in Japanese which was very humbling and inspired me to study language more haha!

General Conference on the mission is always a special experience. I am so grateful for a living prophet guiding us in these latter days. I know that he has been called of God, and that he is a true messenger of God. One of my favorite talks from General Conference was from Elder Ronald A. Rasband. He talked about how sometimes we can be like the disciples in the storm, fearing and worrying about all these different things. And we forget to trust in the Lord. The Lord has the power to calm our storms in life, but we also need to trust him that even in the storms, we can be protected and guided. I definitely feel like sometimes I have a hard time trusting and relying on the Lord so I hope to be able to improve. 

This week we were finally able to meet with Riyo again! It's been a long time! Me and Elder Campbell taught her a while back, but then she dropped off the map and we couldn't contact her for like 2 months. We finally got back in contact and we went out and ate sushi together. She is still interested in learning more! She looked up the church online and so she had a lot of questions about the commandments, so we just layed it out on the table and left it up to her to decide whether or not it is true. It's always awesome to feel the spirit testify through you and see the person when they choose to let it enter their hearts. I love this work and seeing people grow closer to God! There is truly a change in their lives! 

This Saturday morning we also went out and played basketball with some new eikaiwa students. It was way fun and I am so rusty when it comes to bball. They have a ton of potential for sure! 

Last pday we bought taco rice bentos and went to the beach with Sachiko and her daughter and it was so fun! I love them so much and Sachiko is such a solid member and you can see the new light in her eyes. 

The work is starting to pick up again so that's exciting. Still lots of work to do! 

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
