Avalon Patrice Domenique Theroulde was Elder Collins' first baptism on the 28th of December, 2008. Elder Risenmay and Elder Damm were the missionaries that helped us teach. Avalon has a sweet little boy named Isaiah.
The baptism took place in the font at the Arima Branch (Trinidad) and about 35 people were there to witness this special occasion. She was among the "2008 (2012) in 2008" goal of the West Indies Mission. Elder Collins was heard saying, "nothing is sweeter than baptising!"

ReplyDeleteHi and congratulations on your baptism, your birthday (Uncle Ed) and your transfer to Guyana. So glad you have a blogspot. Megan and Stephen have one (theroylefamily.blogspot.com) and Brittany and Ben have one (justuscarters.blogspot.com) You'll have to look at them when, and if, you get some free time. Thanks for the recipe, Aunt Joyce. I'm not gonna make it cuz I may really want to eat it and Shane isn't into sweets:-( I love hearing from you, when mom forwards your emails. Good luck and God bless you both.
