In the Books

Another week in the books! It just goes by faster and faster!

This week was good! We finally were able to procelyte without many disruptions and it felt good to get out there again and spread the good word of God! One cool experience was that we met these Filipinos that let us in! Way nice older couple. They are pretty devout catholic, but it was good to just talk about how Christ has helped our lives. People with even some knowledge of the teachings of Christ always have a special attitude about them. We were able to share with them the restoration and they were interested in reading the Book of Mormon so we'll see how it goes! Also we met this really nice lady who gave me a mango for the Book of Mormon so that was awesome ðŸ‘Œ

Another fun thing this week: we ate at the beach with a part member family! Turned out way good and we're planning on meeting the nonmember of the family today! Hopefully it turns out good. 

We've been going out to eat to sushi a lot with investigators so that's been fun. 

We also volunteered at a day service center and taught some kids english and it was crazy cause this one mom and her kids came that was a lady that used to come to Eikaiwa. She was also a potential investigator when I was serving in Oroku. 

We also had Zone Training meeting this week and I realized that I need to ask better questions when I talk to people and it's been awesome asking people more about themselves than just trying to teach them. I've been able to meet some way awesome people that would normally just would say no to us. For example, we met this one lady and after talking with her for awhile, we found out that she works as at a funeral home and dresses up dead bodies for burial. Way interesting haha

Sachiko is way awesome and is a way powerful missionary. She jointed in the Oroku Elder's lesson with their investigator and Lederman Barlow said she was the most powerful joint he's ever had on his mission. 

That's it for 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
