Elder Kimura

Hello!

This week was crazy busy and it only gets busier! Haha so Wednesday I went to Fukuoka to go pick up my new missionary! His name is Elder Kimura from Hawaii! He's already a stud missionary with a lot of fire. I can't wait to see a ton of miracles with him! I haven't had a lot of time to work with him though cause Elder Takaku and I have had to do a lot of preparing for zone conference and stuff. 

It was actually way sad seeing Elder Arpellida finish his mission. He was super sad to leave and it won't be the same without him! This last week was just so busy with him leaving and getting ready to go and this week doing a lot of planning so not too much happened. However we were able to have a meal with a less active member that went super well. She hasn't come to church in a few years, but she loves the missionaries and makes way good food haha. We were able to have a way spiritual discussion afterwards and she actually has a testimony! I think if we just put the extra effort to help her feel loved and wanted at church then she'll come! 

We also had game night and before I messaged everyone in my contacts and invited them. These two girls that came to the Christmas party a while ago came! I think they used to also take the lessons so they have lots of potential! We'll see what happens! 

That's pretty much it for the 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
