Hello!

This week was one of the busier ones! I haven't had time to train my new missionary! Haha
So Tuesday we had MLC in Fukuoka which was pretty fun. I got to ride a Shinkansen for the first time! That was fun. Anyways I Learned a lot about how we can be more effective in the work. Then Zone conference the next day and preparing for that was way crazy. We're focusing a lot on focusing on our goals and planning effectively. Really got us pumped up. Then we had exchanges with the Hatsukaichi Elders on Friday. They are doing some new and revolutionary stuff in the ward and they really got me thinking about my area and how I need to plan more for it if I want it to succeed. So me and Elder Takaku made a sideshow for the members to teach them more about their role as missionaries and how we need their help. We only showed the bishop so far. He thinks it's good, but we'll see if they want us to actually present it to the ward next Sunday.

Today was one of the Sister's birthday and so we rented out a gymnasium and played sports! Super fun.

Sunday was a holiday and we threw soybeans at demons haha! I'm not sure what the meaning is but I remember in Japanese class freshman year doing the same thing. Someone wears a demon mask and you throw beans at them! We also had a meal with at the bishops house and it was way delicious!

Miracle of the week! So the sisters from Yanai in Yamaguchi zone were waiting for us to grab the church key the night before zone conference and so they Streeted someone in front of the church and they talked to this American guy who teaches yoga in the building right next to the church! He said he would go to church if we came to his yoga class. So right after zone conference we went to do yoga with the Yanai sisters! Haha it was way fun and interesting. So he actually came to church Sunday! He said it was a good experience. Not sure if he's super interested though, but he's way nice! He also doesn't really know Japanese so...

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
