Guyana Reflections

The following is from Tiffany Roberts. It is a report and reflection on the ladies day that the local churches had here in Guyana this past Saturday. Since we arrived Friday night, the ladies traveling with us from Hoover were able to attend and participate. Thank you Tiffany!

On our first full day in Guyana, we began with a Ladies' Day at the Burnham Drive church of Christ. There were between 150 and 200 ladies in attendance. The lessons were edifying, and the singing was fantastic. The topic for our ladies day was "Beauty Shop," stemming from I Peter 3:3-4 which states:

"Do not let your adorning be external - the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear. But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."

We were able to hear four lessons from members of the church in Guyana. Singing was abundant and the church members made delicious lunches for everyone in attendance. Our own members helped when possible and were able to deliver gifts to all of those in attendance, for which they were very grateful. The Hoover members who have previously been to Guyana were greeted by old friends, and those of us who are new were welcomed with hugs and smiles. It was a great start to kick off our week!
