Christmas 2017

Well this week was fun. Pretty normal leading up to Christmas. Loud music everywhere.
Thursday we were supposed to go Christmas caroling with the branch but then it started to rain and so they canceled it and we were sad. 
Friday we had the Branch Christmas party and we got there and saw our name was on the program for a musical number so after the opening prayer was said we grabbed a hymn book and chose to sing away in a manger. It was pretty sweet. 

Got lots of food. Well this is the best picture I got of the christmas party but its good. Its the primary doing the nativity and there's Ravendra as Joseph in the back! He is a pretty sweet kid. 

Saturday we got a ride with Elder and sister Haake the senior couple in Berbice who also happen to live in our area. They took us over to Rosignal (Elder Hanni's old area) so we could participate in the baptism of the Nerine family it was really cool. Elder Hanni and Elder Bigler my old companion in diamond found them one night and started teaching them. First Brother Terry was baptized and then his wife and then his son. we baptized them in a trench not too far from the church there. It was really cool. Random people were there and after each one was baptized we clapped. Brother Terry stayed in the water the whole time and after he was baptized he started swimming around. After when we walked back to the church he said "Before I was baptized I weighed 290 pounds but now I feel like 90 pounds" it was a really neat experience for all of us there

Just some of the area around where the baptism happened.

Sunday we had lots of fall through lessons and Monday it was Christmas. It started raining really hard since Christmas and they are getting there semi annual flooding. Its pretty sweet. Its not too bad though. We are teaching a really sweet lady named sister Allison. she works at the New Amsterdam hospital as security and works every night from 10pm to 7am. Then she has to sleep here and there through out the day. She is really kind though. We finished teaching her the 3rd lesson in the Plan of Salvation about life after death and I don't think I have ever taught some one who was so grateful to find out where we go after this life. Her inspired answer for that lesson was "He gave us a chance to make a choice" she is really cool and she has a baptismal date for Feb 10th. we just need to get her to church now. Its pretty hard when you get off work at 7am but she says she will come.

Check out our house

This has been a pretty good week for me. People are putting up lights here and blasting music everywhere so it must mean we are getting very close to Christmas! This week was pretty quick. This coming up week should be quicker. We have the branch Christmas social, Christmas Caroling with the Branch and zone conference. Should be fun!

 The Persaud family was baptized in New Amsterdam last transfer and they gave us a referral to teach there oldest Daughter Christina who lives in Goed Bananen Land which is in our area. Its pronounced Good Banana Land by the way. We were just teaching her when her husband Raju joined us on Monday. He is really cool and they are both very prepared for the gospel. Raju can't read but he really likes movies so we plan on giving him Faith in Christ to watch today. Raju was giving us lots of inspired answers on Thursday like without God our families aren't happy and God wants all of his children to be closer to him. President wants all of us to right down inspired answers in our planners after each lesson and its kinda fun. 

We had Branch council on Sunday and after there was a YSA activity at the church. They gave us a big plate of food and i got to see some people from Vreed en Hoop and Diamond so it was really cool. Today the Berbice missionaries all got together and had a white elephant gift exchange. I ended up with a roll of toilet paper. I was like are you serious when i found a $1000 dollars ($5 US) in the tube then i was alright. haha. It was really fun. Looking forward to seeing you next week!

Check it out our house has Christmas lights!

Hosea 14:4

Hi all

This week has been great! No complaints. I am really excited for Christmas. We are having a elephant gift exchange and watching Its a Wonderful Life. I can't tell you how excited I am for that. Also I get to skype all of you!!!!! So be ready. I will probably skype around 11 or 12 Guyana time. Does that work for you? let me know as soon as possible if that works.

Yeah, i think I got everything that you sent in my Christmas package. No MasterCard yet. no worries though. 

This week we contacted a girl named Valicia and her Brother Jamel. we had a fall through lesson and so we had some time before we went in for the night. It was 8:30 and at that time most people are sleeping. On our way home we saw them under there house outside. Valicia was braiding Jamel's hair. Jamel wasn't too talkative but Valisia was a little more receptive. We set up a time to go back. When we got there on Saturday night no one was home so we called and Valisia said she had to go to a family emergency. While trying to decide where to go Jamel comes walking home and we had a very spiritual lesson. He told us how he is having some family problems and he keeps slipping into temptation and can't seem to be able to do the right thing. We shared with him Hosea 14:4 and taught him as the spirit directed us. After he told us he felt changed. It was a really cool lesson and really neat to see how the Lord puts people in our path.

New companion

This week was really good. We have been visiting lots of people and getting everything figured out with the new companionship but everything is going really well. I am now with Elder Hanni. He is from Colorado. We are having a lot of fun. 

This week we taught a investigator named Allison. We taught her about the Restoration through Joseph Smith and she told us how she heard we worshiped Joseph Smith but she is really glad she knows better now and that if she ever hears that again she is going to defend us. She also said she is going to come to church next week so we are excited! 

More good news. I got the Christmas package! It was already open when I got it but it looks like nothing is missing and the new inserts for my shoes work great! Thank you so much!

Baptism

Hey my week went really well. This week we had the baptism of Kim and Vishal Datt and everything went perfect! The pump at the church is being fixed so it took over 5 hours to fill up the fount but we got it just high enough so they could perform the ordinance standing. Sunday they were confirmed and Brother Datt recieved the Aaronic priesthood because this week he leaves to work in the interior for two months. It was a very spiritual weekend.

Early Transfers

Hey this week has been good. we are teaching too many people!!!! we have had to stop teaching some people because they weren't progressing and we hadn't seen them in a while and we are constantly finding new people everyday. We have been working with Kim and Vishal Datt for a very long time. They finally have gotten married which was on Sunday and they are being baptized Saturday the 25th. They are really cool and getting anyone legally married here is a challenge just because no one wants too. Kim and Vishal come from Hindu backgrounds and so Vishal's mom was not too supportive of them becoming Christian and wouldn't give him his birth certificate which is needed to be married so we had to wait forever for a new one to come but everything is in place and we are looking forward to Saturday. 

Today was our zone activity and we played basketball and passed a football. Then Elder Henriksen the only other Canadian in our zone pulled out two mini sticks and a ball so we decided to keep our Canadian heritage and play a game of mini stick hockey. It was fun. we got our transfer calls a week early. Elder Buxton is needed back in the islands. He is being transferred to Curacao and my new companion will be Elder Hanni. I believe he is from Colorado. We should be together around Sunday.

Guyana is very different from anything else. I hear there are some pretty cool bird watching tours here. Its not really a touristy place but it defiantly has plenty of different things to see.

Well Sorry for not sending any pictures the last couple of weeks. The last computer I used wouldn't read my card so here's what i have been doing the last few weeks. On Saturday we helped build a fence for a member. As you can see we had to pound some post with a tool called a monkey.

On November 11th we dug a big hole for a septic tank for brother Khan.

Here are some pictures I took when we rode over the Canje bridge on a horse cart coming back into our area from New Amsterdam after an exchange. That is the Canje river and me waving to some people we know. 

Elder Buxton giving a cow a Book of Mormon and a guy named Ravin who did some customization to his wheel chair. He seems pretty cool and we are planning on teaching him this week.

With tears in his eyes

We have been working really hard trying to visit and catch up to everyone. The amount of work to do here is unreal. There is always so much to do. So many people to see and not enough time to see them. We are doing our best though. 

This week was really good. We have been teaching this guy named Aubrey. He served 9 years in the Guyana special forces. He likes to tell us stories about how he jumped out of air planes and did survival courses in the jungle living off of Jaguar and anaconda meat. He lives right across from the church. He works 6 days a week from 5am to 7pm doing security work. Sunday is his day to take care of the house and look after his sick wife. His wife Bibi has been very sick. She used to sit in on the lessons but the past few weeks she hasn't felt too well and has been in bed when we come and visit. We went to visit him Monday night and we saw there were people over at his house. He came out and he told us that Bibi had passed away that afternoon. He told us to come back Friday night. On Friday we went back to teach him and had a very spiritual lesson. We have been teaching him about the plan of Salvation the last few lessons. We were on our life on earth when we visited him. We talked about life and repentance and how everyone has to die. He told us how he had found a church that he is going to go to. We asked him what church is that and he said "Burn bush" Burn bush is the street our church is on. We had a good little laugh. After we were able to give him a blessing of comfort. After the blessing the smile on his face with tears in his eyes was priceless. Unfortunately he didn't make it to church yesterday and when we went to visit him he said it wasn't a good time and to come back the next day. 

We also got to dig a big hole in the mud for a septic tank this week!

Love ya all

Importance of Home teaching

I miss the cold every now and then. Its just so hot here all the time but its great! Glad to hear Halloween went so well. They don't have Halloween here so there was nothing too special going on. 

Hey this week was pretty good. We had zone conference with Elder Alonso of the seventy. He is pretty cool. He is the one who spoke in general conference about service with love. It was really good. We learned how to better use the Book of Mormon in our teachings. Mine and Elder Buxton's lesson went pretty well. Working this week was a little limited since we had to go up to Georgetown for that. Then Elder Buxton got really sick on Friday from some food he ate and we couldn't go out. 

Saturday we had international day of service. We planted palm trees around the Church yard. We were able to receive a lot of help from a returning member named Hilton. Hilton was born with a spine condition and is unable to walk. He was born into a Muslim home growing up but his family soon turned Christian. His mom is a very devout 7th Day Adventist and so ever since he joined the church two years ago he has lost much of her support and he needs her to survive. He attended church for a while after his baptism but he never was visited by any members or even anyone of the Branch Presidency. He said he would ask the branch President if he would visit him or send him home teachers or anything and the Branch President said he would and it just stayed at that. Soon Hilton found himself falling into his old habits and not going to church. Just recently he realized how what he  is doing isn't right. He has moved over to our branch's area with his mom in the time of his inactivity and is fully committed to living the Gospel. At church he has set a good example of why we need to visit members and in Elders quorum the six of us attending devised a plan to reach out to more members. It really built my testimony of the importance of home and visiting teaching. Please don't put it aside. There are so many members out their who need us.

New people every day

This week has been really good. We are working hard. Lots of lessons falling through but it is giving us more time to find new people. We haven't had any issues yet with being spies since the last incident so thats really good. 

This Sunday was district conference so all of the branches met here in the East Canje Branch. It was really good. On Wednesday we have zone conference and Elder Alonzo of the area 70 is coming for it. 
Elder Buxton and I have to present a 10 minute lesson on how the Book of Mormon brings us closer to God and How you should us the Book of Mormon so thats pretty exciting. The only time we really speak in church is when we are new to the branch or leaving. They always try to have members give talks but we are kinda the back up if they don't show up. We teach all three classes. Investigators usually really like the gospel principles class because they love learning new things. Elder Buxton is a really hard worker. He always looks for the best in people. He is a really good missionary. We are working really well together. 

We finally got Brother Datt's birth certificate and so him and Kim are going to get married on the 18th of November and baptized on the 25th. We are really excited for that! Things are going well in Canje.

The Halloween party at home looks fun. The fires sound pretty crazy though. People are always burning garbage and grass clippings and different things here so you pass through lots of smoke sometimes. 

I meet a lot of new people everyday. From Muslims to Hindu's to Christians. All sorts of different cultures and races and backgrounds so its pretty interesting. We met a guy named Abu the other day. He wanted us to make sure that we understood that Jesus was just a prophet and not the son of God. He gave us a qaran and told us to read it. He was pretty interesting.

Slammed on the breaks

Hey everything is great this week! Its great to hear from all of you! 
So with the master card the crack is right next to the chip but I will try to keep it in working condition as long as I can. 

Sadly Elder Nance left to Trinidad on Sunday night and so I was going back and forth between New Amsterdam and Canje with Elder Killian until Thursday when our companions got here from Aruba. Elder Buxton is my companion. He is really cool. He is from Washington DC but his parents are from Ghana. 

So far the work is going well. Our lessons with Bryan are going really well. He is understanding everything but church is still a struggle with him. We met a guy named Derek Mohammed last night. We were on our way to a back up appointment when we passed him and he simply waved to us. I quickly slammed on the brakes and turned around. He is really cool. He showed us all of his puppies he is raising and was eager to set up a time so we could meet his wife and 3 kids. He said he has met missionaries before and knows a little about the message. He seems really cool. 

Elder Buxton and I are working really well together. I am really excited for this transfer! I will have to bring my study journal next week.

My new companion and a road kill alligator!

White American Spies

Life here is pretty good. This is a little crazy with transfers. I'm staying but my companion is leaving. I am happy to hear FACES  is going so well for you mom. Enjoy your fancy equipment!

So this week has been a little crazy. We have been trying to find people going to Georgetown to see if they could go to the registration offices to pick up a birth Certificate for brother Dott so that him and Kim can sign papers and get married legally. Then we can baptize them. Finally we found someone who could go down with the pick up slip but didn't have time to go to the office so he drove down and dropped off the pick up slip to the senior couple there in Georgetown. They weren't able to get to the office in time and had to wait for it to open today. They got their today and they told them they mailed it up to here. Oh well. We should get it in who knows how long but we will get it. We just have to get it before Brother Dott goes back to the interior again. So that's that. 

Then while contacting no one was answering there doors. You could obviously tell people were home because there doors were open. If their door is open that means someone is definitely home. A couple houses down we get to a lady's house and we start talking. Nothing out of the ordinary. She then gets a phone call and goes into the house to answer it. She comes back out and says she has to go and that here baby was crying which it was obviously not. We go further and we are just thinking whats going on. We get to a guys house named Ray. He tells us how he just got a phone call from one of his neighbors saying there are two white american spies in the area taking pictures and to not answer the door however he recognized us as missionaries because he has done some work for the church before. He told us to be careful though. It was interesting. 

Sorry for no pictures lately. The computers haven't been reading my SD card the last couple of weeks. I'll try to get a new one. Also transfer calls was this week. Elder Nance is being transferred to Trinidad and my new companion is Elder Buxton. I'm just waiting for him to fly in from Aruba so in the mean time I will be working with Elder Killian in New Amsterdam and Canje until we get our new companions

Love Elder Fisher

Thanksgiving Day

Hey!

This week was pretty good! I forgot it was Thanksgiving today but all of the missionaries went to the church today and had a barbecue and played games. So that's my thanksgiving. 

Back to Bryan. We extended him a baptism date for November 4th. He accepted. he says he really likes us because we explain everything so simply he can understand. We have taught him up to life after death. We went to invite him to church Sunday morning and he said he just got called for work but he made his wife go. 

Oh and on Saturday we had a baptism. We have been teaching Elisa for the last 6 weeks. She is 9 and her mom's side of the family are active members. We had to teach her all of the lessons because she is 9, so it counts as a convert baptism. Then at church there is this little boy who bikes here every week. His name is Prakesh and everyone just assumed he was a member. His sister was taught a few years ago but went less active. He kept coming. The Branch President, President Baburam was talking to him and found out he hasn't been baptized and he is 10 years old! We went and taught him and his sister after church. His parents are really kind but not too interested in going to church. They are really happy to see us coming by and visiting their kids though! 

Thank you for the Birthday present! For Christmas I need some new shoe inserts. I think they are size 9. Also dinosaurs. Also my credit card has a big crack on it. It still works for now but if it gets worse I might need a new one. If you send anything to me send it to 243 Cedar Court Lamaha Gardens Georgetown Guyana. That should be the quickest and safest. Thats the Guyana mission office. Save it a trip to Trinidad. 

Its great to see all the snow and hear about the cobra games. 

A really popular scripture here to help me remember the mission is John 3:16-17. Everyone here regardless of religion has that scripture memorized. At least verse 16 anyways. 

Oh and yes I got Tyler's deer pictures! Pretty nice!

A Restoration

Hey 

This week has been good. I was able to watch most of conference. General conference was great! I enjoyed all of the messages shared with us. We missed parts in every session because it was a little choppy but not too much.  I'm glad you enjoyed conference.

We started teaching a guy named Bryan. He is a young father. He used to be Muslim growing up but at school he learned about Christianity and he figured that Jesus being the son of God made more sense because that would mean he was closer to God then if he was just a prophet so he changed his beliefs. He used to go to a christian church but he stopped going because him and his wife felt uncomfortable. They didn't understand what the Pastor was teaching. We are teaching him about the apostasy, he was convinced we were in one right now. He said "We need a new dispensation now!" We explained the rest of the restoration and left with him the Book of Mormon to read in the next couple of visits. He told us he feels really good when we come by and when he reads the pamphlet. We explained to him that's the Holy Ghost. He also asked us to pray that he would get work and the next day he was able to find some work to provide for his family. Now lets hope he starts reading from the Book of Mormon and coming to church! 

You asked why we call Br. Prince brother. We call him Brother Prince because we are supposed to call everyone brother and sister. Some people we don't always do that but its in the missionary handbook and preach my gospel. Tell grandpa Fisher to wait on sending his  hearing aids to help Br. Prince. We will wait on that. Thanks grandpa.

The language is going really well. I have been trying to figure out if its just me understanding them better or if they are getting better at talking. I can understand the accent a lot better now. Whappen boi. Ya skinnen ya teet bad. Translation: "What happened? Your smiling a lot." 

Here are some pictures. I took a selfie because I feel like its been a while since you have seen me.

 Thanks for the picture of Baxter. Baxter is pretty special. 

   

The neighbour

Hey

This week was alright. We are doing well. We wen't to teach a new investigator named Bryan the other day. We called into his house and his neighbor said he wasn't home so we decided to talk to the neighbor. Her name was Brenda and found that she is Brother Prince's sister. She told us how the missionaries use to teach her but when they moved the new ones never came by and she was offended by that. We had a little talk with her and set up a time to teach her. we'll see how that goes. 

Time to tell you about Canje. Canje is pretty similar to my other areas. However what is different is its made up of a whole bunch of little villages all bunched up together. Its a fairly large area we cover and lots of back and forth biking. Vreed en Hoop the villages were more separated and in Diamond it was a little more congested. All and all the houses are pretty much the same. Same with the smells unless your riding past the estate (sugar factory). It has a little bit of a funny smell. Lots of sugar cane fields here. The food here is the same but we don't get fed very much here. When we do they usually just go and buy us Chinese food which is pretty good. 

 Members here are good. Its hard to get members out sometimes to help with missionary work but every now and then we get some members out. We plan on trying to work harder with the members. 

Now for my companion Elder Nance, he is good. He is a hard worker. He is from California by San Francisco. He is always looking for things to do. We are keeping busy. 

Talk to you next week.

Love Elder Fisher

Getting hot

Hey everything is going well. Its been really hot here. life is good though. 

Bad news. The Jehovah Witnesses have been teaching Brother Prince sign language so he has decided to quite his investigation with us and go with them instead. 

We have been doing lots more finding. Looking around the church. We have found some former investigators from years back and some new people. Met a guy named Lyndon. He used to work for Caribbean cruises and has been all over the world. We are teaching him this week. Lots of our lessons fell through this week so it just gives us more time to find new people.

That's my week

Hey everything is going great so far. We are visiting lots of people. Marzina turned on us and went on a big rant on how she can't be baptized because she was already baptized. That was really frustrating because we were able to see the spirit work on her so much and she just turned on it. oh well. We are still working with Jacky and Jada towards baptism but they aren't getting any support from their family. Trying to help them with that. But on a more positive note we are working with a investigator named Kim. The missionaries worked with her and her husband before and they were going to be baptized but they weren't legally married to her husband and he left to work in the interior before I got here. Then Kim left to the Essiqubo and was gone for a while but is back now. Her husband is supposed to be coming out in October and they plan on getting married then and being baptized on the 14th! anyways that's my week.

Spirit of God

Hey 

Don't worry about hurricanes here. Some how Guyana doesn't seem to get hit by any natural disasters. Just rains and floods that's all. 

It sounds like your pretty busy back home. We have been too. We are trying to see as many people as possible. Ravindra was confirmed a member of the church on Sunday. We were happy to see him. His Grandma didn't try to take him away this week. We are working really hard with this one lady named Marzina. She is the funniest lady ever. She is great. We have been working hard on trying to get her to understand Priesthood authority. After explaining the restoration on the priesthood again this week she told us she could feel the power and spirit of God was with us and agreed to be baptized on October 14. My only worry for her is transitioning from her current church to the Church of Jesus Christ. The Lord will work miracles in her. 

Anyways that's all I got

Love Elder Fisher

Team N/A Safety

Hey everything went really well this week. We had Ravengra and sister Shirley's baptism on Saturday. That went really well. I'll send you the pictures. Ravengra never showed up to Church to receive the Holy Ghost. We are going to talk to him. 
We are working really hard. We are looking for lots of new people around the church. We are finding a lot of less actives. Most aren't too interested in coming back to church. 
We are having really good progression with Jacky and Jada. We have issued them a baptism date. Don't have too much more to report on. 

Here we have a picture of the baptism, the church and Team N/A Safety at the Sports day event. 

Another picture of the church and a picture of the cool clouds that were coming in

Black Water Creek

hey this week was great. lots of biking trying to get to everyone. we gave Leon a baptism date for September 30th. Sister Shirley and Ravengra came to church all on their own on Sunday. Ravengra is 9 and that's pretty impressive for him. He is really funny. 

We had Zone conference here at the Canje chapel and president Egbert came and taught Ravengra. Those two got along really well. Ravengra and sister Shirley are being baptized on Sunday. We are keeping busy and constantly looking. This week we had a lesson fall through and so we stopped for a minute to decide what to do. A guy came walking by so I stopped him and started talking to him. He said he was coming back from the New Amsterdam Clinic and that he was some hearing doctor. I told him we are teaching a man who can't hear and can't afford hearing aids and asked him what he suggests. He said send him into the clinic and they will do some test to find out what kind of hearing aids he needs and if he can't afford them they can put him on a waiting list for the Starky foundation. Once a year this foundation comes to Guyana and donates hearing aids to everyone on the list for free but he said they already came for this year so it may be a little wait. We told Brother Prince that and he said he has already gotten his ears checked in Georgetown and they didn't offer him anything so he has kinda just accepted the fact that he can't hear. He said he would be willing to give this a try. The doctor wasn't too interested in hearing our message though. He said that he was in a rush. haha but that was my week.

Here's a picture of I think its the Canje river just under the bridge to New Amsterdam and a picture of black water creek and a dead anaconda on the side of the road just outside of our apartment

Getting people to church

Hey 

Everything is really good here. We are struggling with getting people to church. I hope we don't have to push back too many baptisms because of that. All and all life is good. We have been doing lots of biking. It gets really tiring. 

We are working with a guy named Brother Prince. His baptism is set for September 9. He's been coming to church except for this Sunday because of work. Brother Prince can't hear and needs hearing aids and so we are trying to help him with that. We asked some of the Senior couples here about that and they said that we don't have the budget to buy him some but told us to look into some other organizations and see if they can help. Do you have any ideas? Right now we have to wright everything down for him. Luckily he can read and talk but its very slow teaching him. All and all things are good and we are working with more new people. Some of the which are Jacky and Jada. We met them on the way to a teaching appointment. They are really cool. Jada lives with her Grandparents Jacky and Tarens. Her real parents aren't really there. Jacky is really good at making Jada study and explains everything we teach. They even came to church on Sunday. We also met a guy named Leon. He is a Prosecutor at court and he was telling us all about some of the crazy and messed up cases he has to deal with.He used to study the bible online. He is picking up everything really fast so far but we are still really early in the teaching process. Anyways that's my week. 

Enjoy the dry heat and A/C!

Big green building

Hey everyone everything is good. 

Our Branch is a big green church building. I think the village is called Cumberland East Canje. All of the villages here are very close to each other so when you go over the bridge from New Amsterdam you are in Sheet Anchor. If you turn at the Canje corner you go into Cumberland and then Canefield and so forth. If you go strait you go into Village #2 and then Palmyra. 

We are working with some people. One of which is Shirley. Shirley's son doesn't like it when we come over so we take her to a less active ladies house close by. Her baptism is shceduled on the 26th. Its really cool because Sister Liela hasn't gone to church in a long time so she is really excited to be fellowshipping Shirley and coming back to church. We are also working with a young boy named Ravendra. His step Dad is a less active member but doesn't meet with us. His parents are supportive of us though. Ravengra is 9 years old and is planning on being baptized on the 26th. Then we have Sister Jooney. She is a very funny lady. She has been investigating the church for a long time but she has a hard time coming to church because her mom breaks into her house when she leaves and gives away all of her stuff. She will pick locks and crawl through windows to get in. We are trying to push her for baptism on the 26th as well. We are just trying to get her to consistently come to church first. Those are our main ones for now. 

The branch president is really good. We are trying to work with them. The district president is from our branch. We are doing lots of work with the less actives. So many less active people in Guyana. Everywhere you go. 

Here is a picture of Macy and Shareefa at their baptism in my last area.

Love you all 

love Elder Fisher
