82-year-old Korean Sister Joins Church


Tonight we accompanied three of our sister missionaries to the baptism of one of their investigators, Sister Keum Rae Ham, an 82-year-old who has been here just a few months from Korea.  Her daughter and her family live in Kuhuku, about five miles north of Laie, and are members of the church.  It was an incredible baptism.  A fellowshipper from BYUH, who had helped our sister missionaries with translation, gave a talk on baptism (in Korean) and a group of Korean students from BYUH sang a medley of hymns (beautiful)!  Afterwards, this sweet sister bore her testimony, bringing tears to everyone's eyes.  Notice the lei's given to her after the service was over.  The three missionaries: Sisters Ochiai, Magno and Fung.  The other three standing in the picture with Sister Ham are her daughter, her husband, and her grandson who baptized her.
