On Nov.22nd we had another baptism where 3 new members were added to our Chaguanas Branch and 1 new member was added to our Couva Branch. The really wonderful thing about the baptisms is that 2 of the young men will receive the Aaronic Priesthood this Sunday and there's another one coming up in a few years. The one thing that is desperately needed in the West Indies in priesthood holders. The four who were baptized are Ryan and Avinesh Parag, brothers, Devon Grant, and Alicia Richards. The others in the picture are Elder and Sister Leishman, Elder Risenmay, the other white guy in the back, and Elder Endemann, the Samoan in the front. In case you are wondering why you see so many pictures of baptisms and missionary groups with both hands held above the heads, I will explain. I'm not sure when it started in the West Indies but "Hurrah for Israel" is a cheer for our mission. You remember the story of Brigham Young when, even though he was so sick he could barely stand, he stood and gave a "Hurrah for Israel" shout as he departed for a mission so his family wouldn't worry about him. The shout and the arms gesture has become a tradition at baptisms in the West Indies. Now you know!
