Shyam (Piet) Hira Sing, Amsterdam, November 6, 2011
Shyam (Piet) Hira Sing had his first lesson with the elders (Elders Bastian and Mickelsen) on October 17. He is the husband of Kitty who is a life-long member of the church. Piet has had lots of contact with the church through the years which caused him to have a wonderful understanding of gospel topics. For many years, he did not feel ready to make the step to meet with the missionaries. But in October the desire came and he personally requested a visit from the missionaries. At that first appointment, the elders taught a very humble and receptive Piet who wanted to be baptized that very same week! Never before had they met someone with such a great desire to be baptized! For 3 weeks, Piet received the missionary lessons several times a week. He was 100% with keeping his commitments, or in simpler language… he is golden! The light in his eyes shone brighter with every appointment. Piet grew to love family scripture study and getting to church early in his new suit. His baptism on November 6 was attended by 100+ people with at least 30 non-members included. Piet is living evidence of the Atoning power of Jesus Christ. He is now looking forward to being sealed with his wife and kids next year in the temple. Congratulations Piet!
