Missionaries with whom we served and some baptisms

We met with the elders on Tuesday mornings for District meeting.  We had Zone meetings about every three months when President and Sister Mehr and the AP's would come.  We also attended two couple conferences in Trinidad where all the Senior Couples would meet.  We did have opportunities now and then to share the Gospel and bear our testimonies.  In Guyana the people are outwardly religious.  They have scriptures on their cars, and all the elementary schools have religious names.  The missionaries found it easier to baptize in Guyana than out on some of the islands, but it was hard for people to stay active.  Their lives are such a struggle - transportation to get to meetings was a challenge.  Many of them made great sacrifices to come to Church.

We liked to take pictures every six weeks on transfer days.  This was our last transfer day.  Front row:  Elder Ramdhanie, Elder and Sister Surujbhan, E & S Beecher, Elder Moya  Second row: Brother Stewart, Elder Rivers, Elder Patetefa, ?, Elder Anderson, Elder Guiterrez, Back row: Elder Leany, Elder ?,Elder Loewen and Elder Watson, Elder Stephen, and Elder Egbert

We enjoyed working with the elders.  Every three months all the foreign missionaries had to go to Suriname to renew their tourist visas.  We made several trips to Suriname with the elders, We ordered things for them, and often fed them and helped take care of them.  The members loved them.  We had some fantastic elders.

Looks like pizza - it must be a district meeting

The Elders were good teachers and trainers.  District meetings were informative.

We met this triple time king of Calypso singers in the Botanical Gardens and invited him to come and sing for us.  Then the missionaries sang to him.

Elder Beecher was impressed with the length of Gavin Bynoe's fingers, whose fingers are the longest.  So we took this picture.  Elder Bynoe is now serving in Georgia.
