On Saturday, January 02, 2010, Sister Sabita (Sharon) and her daughter Tiffany were baptized by the husband, Parasram Persaud (and Dad). He works on the island of St. Kitts and they live here; while there, he has joined the church and came home over the holidays to see that his family received the gospel. We received his referral and had the missionaries start teaching them. They accepted the teachings and it was very, very special when he could be here to help and then to baptize them. There is a son, Theodore, who is not quite old enough to be baptized yet. They are planning and saving money for the family to join Brother Persaud in St. Kitts sometime this summer.
The baptism was held at dusk in the Demerara River right by their family home; Elder Collins and Elder Brenkmann with Tiffany and then with Brother Persaud; also instructing the family during the baptismal program.

And with Elders Brenkmann and Moses......then into the water!
Tiffany is baptized; several of us watching as Sharon is baptized. Just a really special moment in our missionary lives--it's the way it should happen--to a family!
What is with the sling?
