Elder Antonio Lim

Hey!  Transfers were this week and...  I'm getting a son!! For those of you who don't know mission lingo, I'm training a new missionary!  I'm also staying in Itoman so that's awesome. Elder Campbell is transferring to the beautiful island of Amami and going senior there! I'm so excited for him! I'm sad he's going to miss the baptism of Hisada and Sachiko though.  This week was a little bit slow, Elder Campbell got sick and so we had to stay in a couple days. But the work is still moving!  So at church last week, there was this girl that came that I never saw before, so I said hi and it turns out she wasn't a member, she was the sister of a girl who got baptized a few years ago. The mom is also a member. So we visit their house one night and had a way awesome talk with the member sister. She really wants her sister to get baptized so we made a plan to start teaching her! We'll see what happens! Pretty much the fir

Hey! What a crazy week!! A lot happened this week, we weren't able to do much Dendo or teaching cause of all the stuff that went down but it was fun! So update on investigators or, "people being taught" as they say nowadays, Sachiko is progressing so well! She loves church! She also wants her daughter to grow up and be like one of the young women in the ward. This ward is the best! So yeah, she's doing really well. It was her birthday this week so we made a really ghetto cake in the rice cooker and made improvised frosting by using a blender to blend up sugar to make powdered sugar, cause it's way expensive here in Japan. But it wasn't thick enough so we threw in peanut butter to make it thicker. It turned out pretty OK! Then we made our own cake box! I was more impressed with the cake box than the cake itself haha. Then we got a ride to her house and left it in front of her door! She was way happy! But she said at first when she got home, she

Aloha Another week in the books! Another awesome week full of miracles! We weren't able to find many new investigators this week but the work is still progressing! Every lesson with Sachiko is so amazing! We taught her twice this week and she is progressing so quickly! Honestly just super kinjin haha! She talked about how when she first met us when we knocked on her door, she was super lost and looking for God. And when she saw that we were Jesus Christ church she was super excited. We reflected back on that day and honestly there was so many circumstances that led us to her. Really strengthened my testimony that this is God's work and he knows where the prepared people are so we need to trust him and follow him. We had Stake Conference in Okinawa City this week and that was way fun! All the members on the Island of Okinawa gathered, and Sachiko and ooshiro San also came! It was an awesome experience, the church in Okinawa is so strong. I love it!  I got

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

Bonjour This week was so awesome! The Lord just keeps blessing us! Last night we stopped a guy on the street and he was on a walk. He said he has actually been really interested in religion lately and been researching Christianity. He was like, wow its so crazy that you stopped me cause I've been wanting to learn about Christianity lately... Ever since he was a child, he always wanted to go to the Christian church. God truly does lead us when we are obedient! We had a way sick lesson with our investigator Sachiko. I may have mentioned her before, she's a 30 year old woman with the CUTEST 3 year old daughter. Recently divorced and moved to Okinawa. She's been looking for a church lately and wanting God's help in her life. We were able to set a baptismal date with her this week! We also taught her the restoration and the spirit was so strong. Elder Campbell recited the first vision and she started crying! Crazy! Everyone was crying and she related herself
