Even though the entire week here in Linden, Guyana was awesome, the end of the week, Friday, was even better. Our day started out like all of the rest of them. We conducted 18 studies with 19 people, and ended with 4 people obeying the gospel, putting on Christ in baptism. A great end to a great week.
Friday night's worship was great as well. The singing seemed exceptionally spiritual and emotional, and, all of the classes were excellent and well attended. We broke the record for our attendance with 205 people coming and participating. I thought at the beginning of the week we might, but the last couple of nights had leveled off a little. I was glad to see that we reached the prediction of 200.
This week for us comes around once a year, and after a 20 hour travel day to get settled in, you think you will have plenty of time to get your work done. It is, however, the fastest week you could ever experience. It starts and is over in the blink of an eye and we are on our way back home. Although we will miss everyone we met and worked with here in Guyana, we miss everyone back home as well. For 2014, our work on the ground in Guyana is done, but next year will be here before we know it and we will be working alongside the brethren at Burnham Drive Church of Christ once again.
Our team that traveled from the States was awesome and I am proud to have worked with all of them. Shout out to Glenn Till Jr., Joel and Che' Abbott, Wes and Pam Blankenship, Sean and Mary Mcallister, Will Spurlin and my wife Suzanne. It was such a special blessing to have experienced this trip with all of them. It was a very special honor to have worked all week with Suzanne by my side. Her being here made this trip even more wonderful.
'til next time.........
