LINDEN IS "the WATERS OF MORMON" and ELDER LEISHMAN IS "PARLEY P." LEISHMAN!

Baptims in the Demerara River in Linden, Guyana.May 24, 2009 A heavenly day! A little camera effects makes this baptism of 11 people look angelic. I'm sure there really were angels attending that day, very excited to know that someone from their family was finally baptized.

May 31, 2009 Elders Fillerup, McDaniels, Harris, Powers, and Leishman baptized 7 sweet people into the Linden church group which is an outreach group of the Diamond Branch in the Georgetown District of Guyana. The sister in the middle of the picture is now our Relief Society president.

June 7, 2009 Elders Powers, Jestice, Harris, Fillerup, and McDaniels baptized 9 beautiful people into the Linden church group. The primary grew by 4 that day. The Priesthood grew by 2, a teacher and a priest.
June14, 2009 Elders Powers, Fillerup, Leishman, Sorber, and Jestice baptized 7 new members into the Linden church group. The 2nd sister from the left is so anxious to learn as much as she can about the church that she comes to our seminary class that is held 3 days a week. She is a teacher in the YW's organiztion.
History was made in the church in Linden on June 14th when four of the seven members of our first family were baptized. Father, Joseph Outar, mother, Ingrid, and their two daughters, Salli and Shania, were baptized together as converts. Shalika, Shanica, and Joshua will be baptized when they are 8 years old as children of record. Elders Sorber and Jestice were the elders that taught this wonderful, loving family.

June 20, 2009 This was our 2nd Sunday since coming to Linden that we had 11 people baptized on the same day in the Demerara River. That makes a pretty big splash. It was a history-making day once again because a young man who was just baptized on June 7th was able to perform his first baptism. So he was the first Guyanese to baptize in this part of the Demerara. He is 3rd from the left next to Elder Leishman. It was a special day, too, because it was the last baptism for 4 of the elders in the picture. Elders Sorber, McDaniels, and Fillerup left the next day to go home. Their two years was over. Elder Jestice went back to Suriname for his last transfer. He spent most of his mission there which is a Dutch-speaking country. Elder Harris, on the right end, is the only one of our six staying with us in Linden. Elder Powers, not pictured in this pic, was transferred to another area near Georgetown. Stay tune next week for pictures of our 7 new elders.
