The Final Transfer

Hello!

This week was another awesome week! It was nice not having to stress about packing and leaving cause me and elder Balute are both staying! It's been raining like crazy lately so we've been getting soaked all the time! But it hasn't been too hot yet.

Some miracles this week:
So we got kendo swords last week from one of our English class students and this week he gave us handmade bags for them! They're super awesome!
We had the idea to try making a banana chocolate cake and we tried it and it turned out way good!!
We went out to eat with our investigator and it was so fun! She's the sweetest old lady and she came to church again! We're probably going to invite her to baptism again soon!
Our other investigator has a lot of things she's still unsure about with the church, but we're just trying to get her to pray because that's we're it all starts! If you don't pray then you'll never know what's true!
Today there was a missionary that served here 13 years ago that came with his family and they performed some musical numbers! We also had a potluck and had lots of good food! I was able to make friends with a less active's son who isn't a member! Hopefully we'll be able to teach him sometime.
Also on Sunday, one of the less actives we've been working a lot with came to church and gave a talk. She talked about how ever since we came and visited her she decided to come back to church! She's been coming a lot lately after not coming for 3 years! It's been so good to have her back at church cause she's such a bright person! She reminds me of my grandmother in a way.. Haha!

We've been getting back into housing and streeting lately and it's been fun! We gave our first Book of Mormon last night while housing together!

Not much else I can think of this week! Just trying to go hard this last transfer!

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
