Life in Guyana is hard. It is very hard to get passed the poverty and filth.
The people are very friendly and seem to be happy. There will be four baptisms Sat.
Last week there were two. The Elders are working very hard in this area. We go with them to meet investigators and members. They teach very simple messages. Some have not had the opportunity to attend school and can't read. These pictures are of some of the areas. Hope to give a idea of what life here is like. The streets are very congested with cars and animals. The streets are very narrow and full of pot holes. Pot hole capital of the world.
This how some travel around. We see this everyday.
School children are all over the roads. Hard to drive.
Lots of bikes on road. They will not move off road. There is no place to move.
This is the post office

This will be hard to see but this van is a Sentinel Security Van. Big Al I didn't know you had branched out. I knew Joe travel to S A but I didn't know he was in Guyana. Ha Ha! Joe got a closer picture. I will post it when he sends it to me from his tablet.Add caption |
