No place I'd rather be

What an awesome week! Kinda busy with transfers going on and everything, but still got a lot done!

One of the girls in a part member family that all have the missionaries have been focusing on and the sister missionaries have been teaching, got baptized!! It was such a special baptismal service. The spirit was so strong, her family that is not active also came and we were able to build a way good relationship with them! I also was reminded of Sachiko's baptism and the special spirit that was there. It's so amazing being able to be a part of such a special event in someone's life. There's no place I'd rather be and nothing else I'd rather be doing. I know that this is God's work and he is mindful of His children.

Another cool thing that happened is that we had a random fireside with the Asia north area presidency and the general relief society and primary presidency. Way cool meeting general officers from church headquarters! I'm not sure why they came, but it was a way cool experience hearing what they had to say on how we could improve in ministering to others.

Today we were able to go out to eat with the Chinese lady that our ward mission leader referred us to last week! She's way nice and she's way busy so she can't meet often, but she agreed to listen to our message over video chat or phone call.

I've also started waking up at 5:30am to go running with an eikaiwa student, she knows a lot about the church already and could possibly be baptized someday!

Those are all the highlights I think...

See you next 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
