Just the day before we left Guyana, we were asked to baptize Theodore Persaud. And a request from his father (who is still working in St. Kitts) for Elder Collins to baptize and confirm him. Remember, Sister Persaud and Tiffany had been baptized by their father just as the year began; we were part of teaching them the gospel in Linden. Now that Theo is past eight and the father can't come until next December, they decided to go ahead with his baptism. We were excited! They are truly a favorite family that we will miss. So, on 25, May, 2010, we held a baptismal service. The Persaud family, the Clarkes, the Angus couple and all our missionaries were in attendance.
Theodore was baptized in the Demerara River that runs right by their home; the tide has risen while we were having the program and they had to decide where to baptize him. (crazy little Tiffany in the boat!)
Pictures with the Persauds and then a picture of them with their Grandma and Grandpa and Susie. They have been Hindu all their lives and are just now beginning to listen to the lessons that the Sister missionaries are teaching.
