A NEW ASSIGNMENT

By Sept. 30th, thanks to the government of Guyana,
Elder Leishman and I,

along with 36 other missionaries,
found it necessary to leave Guyana.
It was a very emotional time for us.
We had grown to love the people in Linden so much.

We were re-assigned to the island of Tobago,
just north of Trinidad,to replace Elder and Sister Ross
who were leaving to go home.
The first set of missionaries we worked with on Tobago was
Elder Larson from Logan, Utah and
Elder Ackerman from Grace, Idaho.

We are standing on the beach at Courland where we
had just attended our first baptism in Tobago.



Fayola Ctitchlow was baptized on Oct. 10th by Elder Ackerman.
We had her baptismal service in a large grove of trees
just a few feet from the beach.


Take a look at the big wave ready to hit the shore.
This was taken just after it nearly knocked both of them over.
The next picture is from our 2nd baptism a few weeks later.

Leana and Diana were baptized on Oct. 25th at Stone Haven Beach.
The baptismal service was held among the rocks and
trees right on the shore.
It was attended by Branch President Kissoon,
some other branch members,
and their guardians, Kerron and Natasha Regis.


Diana, 13, is the oldest sister.

Leana, 9, is the younger sister.
The girls are living with their aunt and uncle,Kerron and Natasha,
because their parents are both dead.
Kerron and Natasha were both baptized in August.
We've been to FHE at their house several times.
They are a very special family.

Antonia Williams and Adelline Wiltshire are two of our seminary students.
They are actually the only two that are coming right now
but we are determined to get more coming.
