A TEMPLE IN OKINAWA

What another amazing week! So many miracles!
First off biggest miracle ever. A TEMPLE IN OKINAWA!!!! I am so happy and overjoyed that the people of Okinawa will have they're countless prayers answered to have they're own temple!! I love that place and those people SO MUCH! They deserve their own beautiful temple that they can go to on a weekly basis if they so desired. I wish I could be a missionary in Okinawa when the temple is built! But I'm glad I still got to be a small part of building and preparing God's kingdom there to have their own temple.

Anyways miracle up here in Hikari!
So Monday we hung out with these less active members and then went to a light up garden walk thing to see Sakura with one of them! Way awesome time and by the end of the night she committed to come to church when she comes back to Hiroshima in a couple weeks! She hasn't been to church in like 4 years! 😆
We also went out to eat with another less active who hasn't been to church in years and she also committed to coming to church next week! It's amazing seeing how if we just show these people that we want them back, they will come back! We just need to minister like Christ and show them that they are needed!

Another miracle is that we had a way awesome lesson with this investigator that has been coming to church for 10 years but still doesn't think he can be baptized cause he felt like he hasn't gotten an answer yet whether or not that this church is true, or even if God exists.
We had two way powerful member joints and they're testimonies literally brought the spirit so strongly. You could see a change in the investigators countenance after the lesson. And then at church this week he was a lot more attentive to those who bore their testimonies. Maybe now is the time for him!

Last miracle is on Sunday we were talking with the Elders quorum president and he mentioned a less active family he wanted us to visit that I've never heard about before. So we visit them after church and the grandma came out and she was so nice! Then her grandkids came out and we played with them for like an hour it was the best!! Then right before we left, the grandma was like okay let's pray! And so she prays and one of the grandkids like folds her arms and is super reverent and I was like wow, maybe their praying with their kids even though they don't come to church! So we're gonna be working hard to get this family back in the fold!

This pday is a zone pday and it's gonna crazy so no time but I'll tell you about it 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
