From a sister in Kauai

You never know when your seeds will grow!

Since my mom moved to Hawaii in 1985 her cousin Susan would come visit and when she did I always tried to plant seeds of truth in her. Fast forward to 2009 and Susan and her husband Bob came to visit my husband Liko and I on Kauai and we watered those seeds of truth. They were so excited about our discussions they decided to go back to church :( Two years later and they came to visit again but this time they we're less than enchanted in the church they were attending and after many scriptural discussions I suggested they begin studying the Bible with the witnesses where they live. Susan said she was really only comfortable talking to me so I asked her if she knew about Skype and she said "yes I Skype my friend in England all the time" so I suggested we study together via Skype and in December of 2011 we embarked on our Skype studies her in California and me on Kauai. I suggested she go by the local Kingdom Hall and get a reference Bible and so she called and ordered one and then when it came in she arranged to go pick it up and the Brother who met her there gave her a tour of the Kingdom Hall and shared his experience of coming into the truth. When Susan came home she told her husband Bob about how nice the Brother and his wife were and how nice the Kingdom Hall was and so Bob said "I think starting this Sunday we should should start going to the Kingdom Hall. By the way everything Susan had been learning she was sharing with her husband. So from that Sunday on they regularly attended the meetings at the Kingdom Hall. After the first meeting Bob suggested they prepare their Watchtower together before the next meeting (sounds like Family Worship). Susan and Bob have continued to progress in the Truth and what is most impressive is how appreciative both of them are about everything Jehovah has done for them. Two weeks ago they attended their first Circuit Assembly and this weekend they are at the District Convention. I contacted a sister in the territory where they live Carina and Mark and they are studying with Bob and Susan as a couple. I am so thankful to Jehovah that those seeds began to grow after so many years of watering and it helps me to realize never to give up on anyone. My mom will be so happy when Susan and Bob and Liko and I and the the rest of the new world society greet her back in the resurrection that is a day I truly look forward to.

Bob, Susan, Carina and Mark

That angel flying in mid heaven (Rev. 14:6) strikes again.
