Santarem 12/11/17

Aloha Família!

Dorina, Vitor, their children,
and Elder Kim
A family they have been teaching.
Starting off my last week on the mish fam....its super weird. I know in my mind it’s the last week, but I don’t feel it yet, haha. Ainda bem (still good) I guess. Just gotta work hard until the end! And this upcoming week promises to be a handful, haha.

Pedro and Carina are doing really well! We’ve been teaching their kids, and they have been doing a great job of bearing their testimonies of the lessons! We planned their baptism, and they’ve asked me to baptized them! They came to church with one of their kids, and had their baptisms announced! They, and we are too, super excited for their baptisms!

Elder Kim and Sister Macedo
Both will be returning home next week.
We had a mission council by zoom, which is like skype, and we talked about how we can help the mish move forward. We are hoping to help our zone move forward, and do better! Also, right after the meeting, the district surprised me and Sister Macedo with our "funeral", our last district meeting (in the mission). Was pretty funny. I mean, not every day that I have my pic taken laying down with a pineapple, haha.

We went to a nearby city to go work and we got wrecked, haha. I’d never been there before, but we went and worked and nobody wanted anything, haha. Tudo bem (okay) but what was cool was that, I had had the impression to bring some stuff printed out in Hindi, but I didn’t know why. Turns out I run into this guy who speaks Hindi from India and I’m able to contact him! We were supposed to go teach him, but it didn’t work out, but the experience was cool! At the least, the seed is there.
The "funeral" for the soon-to-be
returning missionaries

We are still doing the Christmas campaign and its working out well. We just set that banner up and get nuts, haha. We just go talk to everyone and its awesome! Always worth talking to everyone about the gospel because it will BLESS THEIR LIVES! I even ran into a girl from the Philippines, haha. Closest I think I’ve come to talking to someone from the Pacific, haha.

Me and Elder Cardenuto, we working hard! Lovin life on the mish, and doing our best. We have seen the hand of God in our lives, and I’m so thankful for His guiding us. We have a goal to find 60 new investigators (this transfer), an average of 10 per week, and we are at 53! We gonna do it!

Fam I love you guys! Thank you guys sooo much for all the love and support these last 23 1/2 months. It’s been a long ride, but I’ve learned soooo much. I’m so grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had to serve the people of Portugal, and for all the blessings with which I’ve been blessed. They really are the best two years FOR your life!

I know that God lives! I know that Jesus Christ is our Redeemer! I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and that the Book of Mormon is true. I know that the Gospel is true, and blesses the lives of all those who live it. I know that any person can know that these things are true, if they will but ask God, in the name of Jesus Christ, with a sincere desire to know and an open heart, and that by the power of the Holy Ghost it shall be confirmed. I know these things not of myself, but by the power of the Holy Ghost. I read the Book of Mormon, I prayed, and it was confirmed unto me. I hope, pray, and will work, to help everyone recognize the blessings that come from this knowledge! Família, amigos, conhecidos, desconhecidos, eu vos amo! (Family, friends, acquaintances, strangers, I love you!)

E assim eu vos testifico, em nome de Jesus Cristo, amen. (And so I testify to you, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.)

Com amor (with love),
Elder Hyrum Kim

  1. So wonderful to hear you and your companion. I was thinking that the Christmas Season provides a stage to be willing cast members in a real life "Plan of Salvation" play. Where again from premortal life we know our purpose and the role Christ plays so that we can live to return to God. Like a recommitment to the Plan. Love you Hyrum. Safe journey home.

    1. Beloved in Christ,for you love God and Truth,it is important you come to know a well documented and verified truth(even though,cheaters try to deny it by telling silly tales),that the book of Mormon is totally worthless(Never a Tribe of Israel went to the Americas to give birth to the Natives-the DNA test denies it-... and far less JESUS... Truly,the so called original manuscript with the "pearl of great price" were mere lists of obituaries written in the old language of Egypt,mister Smith purchased in a library... and the "apostles" in Salt Lake know it well). We have,already,a perfect testament,which you can find it in the GOSPEL(Galatians 1,6-9,Jude 3-4). May the Grace and the Love of our Heavenly Father find a warm welcome in your soul,so that his Holy Spirit can protect you from deception,sin and hell(Luke 12,1-12);until the day-if,you turn earnestly and with humility to the Lord JESUS to get his personal revelation with his forgiveness and holy freedom;and,so,to taste his fellowship with his peace and mercy-you too 'll enter the joy of Paradise. In JESUS' Love
