Papua New Guinea Saints baptized in crocodile-infested waters

In May, 2011, President Meliula Fata, of the Papua New Guinea Port Moresby Mission, travelled seven hours by dinghy to Sogere, PNG. While there he participated in the teaching and baptizing of 114 investigators. The baptismal service was unique in its setting and in its blessings of safety.

Mormon Times TV: Jimmy Osmond shares his testimony, plus Elder Holland's most embarrassing day

I attended Brigham Young University back in the 1970s (yep, it dates me), when the Osmonds and their television variety program — “The Donny & Marie Show” — were a hit. BYU students filled the audience seats at the Osmonds’ television studio, and Donnie and Marie and family put on a popular, high-energy musical show every week for three years, to the delight of screaming teens and young adults (and, no, I didn’t scream). And, when you think about it, the Osmonds’ longevity is pretty amazing — more than 50 years in show business, since the early days when the Osmond brothers were regulars on Andy Williams’ TV show.
