Knock on That Door





Hey!

Not a ton of time this week! So we had a zone pday today so we don't have time! But we all went to Miyajima, a famous tourist sport in Hiroshima, and hiked the mountain! It was awesome cause they had oysters and I love oysters! We also had some less actives and eikaiwa students come which was way fun!

Tons of miracles this week! I had two exchanges with new missionaries and they brought about so many miracles!

So one night we tried visiting a less active in this danchi, and she wasn't home. We started heading down the stairs and I felt like we should knock on this door as we were passing by it down the stairs. But I was like, eh it's okay and kept going. But then Elder Megargel (one of the new missionaries) was like wait hold on let's knock on this door. THE SAME DOOR that I felt prompted to knock on but didn't. so we knocked and met this way nice 20 year old kid who was friends with a member already! he also wanted to learn English and had tons of interest in eikaiwa. We were also able to give him a Book of Mormon!
I know that God wanted us to meet this guy and he's been preparing him! It was no coincidence that we both felt prompted to knock on the door. And I'm so humbled and grateful for Elder Megargel's faith and courage!

Another miracle is that we decided to visit this former investigator that I've never met before last night and we get there and in front of the door it says "welcome Lucas" I was like who's Lucas? But anyways we knock and they come out and are like, oh you're not Lucas, but come in! Apparently Lucas was a missionary that taught them like 4 years ago and he was visiting from America that night. So he came like 3 minutes after us and we ended crashing their dinner. It was way crazy timing cause I never thought to visit them before. But because we met them with that past missionary, we were able to build a way good relationship and also get way good food... Haha!

We had stake conference this week as well and it was way awesome. Elder Wada came and gave way good trainings to the members on how to minister and have more Christ like love for those we are assigned to minister. I really felt like that's what this place needs! More love!

That's all I have time for!

Love
Elder Lim

I don't have time to attach all pics from this week but I'll send them next week!

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
