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.
