令和一年!

Hello from the rice fields of Yatsushiro!

This last week was way good! It was Golden Week here in Japan, which means that everyone has work and school off for a week! 
So this week We visited an investigator with a member and they hit it off way good! The members here are so great at fellowshipping! Then that investigator came to church again this week! She is so prepared! We are going to try to actually teach the lessons more periodically and get her baptized!

One fun thing we did this week is we went to a high school band/choir concert! So we were housing and we met this high school girl and I asked her if she did any school clubs. she said she was in the band and so I asked if she had any concerts coming up and she said she did and invited us to her concert! So we went and it was so fun! We were able to talk to some people we sat next to and invite them to eikaiwa!

Also one cool thing is that we basically have our own personal baker! This old lady that used to be baking teacher was someone in our area book that we visited and she's like, I can bake ANYTHING! if you want any kind of bread or cake, I will make it for you!! So she made us a shifon cake the other day 😂

We also had zone conference this week and learned about finding people to teach. Something that the mission has been struggling with lately! We learned a lot! I also got to see a lot of mission friends, including Elder Howells! I worked with him in Okinawa!

It's starting to warm up here and I can finally not wear a jacket at night, but I'm getting eaten alive by mosquitos again 😅😂

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
