Farewell Elder Wheeler



What a crazy week!

So I lost my son... But I adopted a new one!! Haha long story short: Elder Wheeler had some health problems he's been struggling with for awhile now and the doctors decided it was best for him to go home, so I buried my son ðŸ˜­
However, my new companion was someone else's son. That Elder was called up to work in the office so he had to put his son up for adoption and so they gave him to me! Haha my new companion/son is Elder Takahashi from Hiroshima! He is just three weeks old in the mission. So I will continue training him! He's already a stud missionary with lots of fire. I can't wait to get to work with him!

So I got to stay with Oroku Elders in Oroku for a few days before I got my new companion. I always joked about transferring back to Oroku haha! It was super fun visiting investigators I used to teach and show the Oroku Elders around my second home. We visited one investigator who was pregnant when I first met her, and now her baby is already 3 months old! We were able to organize a time for her to have a meal with a member so that was cool! It was also way fun just being with the Oroku Elders. They are way solid and know how to work hard. I got to teach their investigator with them and it was this way chill guy named Yara. Just way chill and way down to change his life. He's super busy with work and won't be able to come to church till next month, but he still has a ton of potential. 

It was so nostalgic to be back and I love Oroku area! Sadly the time was short! I love Itoman too though haha! It's been way fun visiting members and making relationships with the members that you didn't even knew existed at church! Haha 

Oh by the way, we had Thanksgiving dinner and it was super good! Super grateful! The couple from America that fed us were Elder Wheelers aunt and uncle. I was talking to his uncle on the way home and he was still carrying a picture of his wife that he got from his wife on his mission 40 years ago! Haha true love! I thought that was way cool. 

Well that's pretty much it on the last couple days! Hope everyone is doing good! 

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
