To start the day, I looked out our back yard door: a typical site and I couldn't pass it by (!)
Had a chance to slip into the Linden West's primary and took a couple pictures of the kids and Sister Juliet Giles (front) and Sister Tinisha Pollard (back). They do such a great job and I loved teaching new songs!
Elder Murray and Sister Girdharry "helping" them color.
Then as we visited the East Side meetings, I took a few more pictures. The Emmanuel baby, Nikita, is now only five days old and attending meetings--she was blessed today by Elder Collins. He also blessed her older sister, Dellcia, Minky Ramdeholl, and Jamacia Benjamin (Lewis) on this day. It was awesome; they now will be "members of record". This was also a special Sunday as the new Senior Couple for Linden (Clarke)arrived early for both meetings; the Rick's (Senior Couple and also he is the new 1st Counselor in the Mission Presidency) from Georgetown brought them from the airport and attended our meetings also. We are with Richie Ramdeholl--soon to leave on his mission! We have been helping with his paperwork and medical; it has been fun!
"Minky" (was blessed today) and her mother Mandy Ramdeholl. Then with Martina and Celina Ramdeholl.
Just a cute picture of Martina Ramdeholl ......and then Joseph Emmanuel.
Marvin and Rhonda Emmanuel and girls---and the whole family!
Branch President Daivnand Ramdeholl and his family that are left at home. Ryan is on his mission; and the girls are living in Anarika still until Martina finishes school for this year.
Ermila Lewis and her two little girls: Jamacia (the one that was blessed today) and Dellicia...oops! and Josha Emmanuel snuk in!
The Cipriani Emmanuel Family(minus the mother; Rose was attending to her grandchildren somewhere out of town today).
Melanie with her mother and brother; she was confirmed a member of the Church today! And the Sisters are teaching the rest of them. She is fourteen years old, with a sweet testimony.
At the end of the day! The Clarkes had traveled the whole night and arrived early and then spent the whole day churching in Linden-------need we say more! Sister Girdharry couldn't resist this picture!
Thank you for posting this. I served in Guyana back in 2003, and once a month I would drive down to Linden to have sacrament meeting with the Ramdeholls. I was always worried for Mandy, because her parents didn't think she could read and would discourage her from it - instead they would insist that one of their other children who read better do the reading. We persisted with the family, and encouraged Mandy to read. Of all the times we went down there, I thought that Mandy took the meetings the most seriously. She was always prepared for them. When I heard that Linden had a branch, I hoped this family was not forgotten, and to see them in those photos is an answer to my prayers. Thank you.
