I am now writing from a soft cushy bed, in a beautiful 3 story, air conditioned home in Georgetown. As i mentioned in my earlier post, we are staying with a family that travels and works internationally for the US Embassy. Their home is not how a typical Guyanese family lives. They have 24 hour security guards!! I definately feel safe tonight! We enjoyed a lovely meal and have been taking advantage of the wireless internet and clean surroundings. It's definately a "vacation".
We visited the Guyana Branch today and were welcomed by Sister Arlene, a Canadian sister who has lived in Guyana for 11 years. 2 years on her own and 9 with her husband, who is from here. Now they both serve at the branch. She is quoted in the 2005 yearbook about Guyana. :)
Bro. Hinds, the Branch overseer came and gave us a warm welcome and was very reassuring to us. We needed a pep talk since the robbery.
While it's been lovely being at this home and feeling that sense of normalcy for a night, i know that it will be back to the boondocks before too long. But i also know that waiting there are so many deaf that need the knowledge that we can provide. And i am anxious to get to know them all better.
Also, i have been able to have a good wireless connection this eveing, so i've put most of my pictures up on shutterfly. So please check them out: http://www.simonecbreaux.shutterfly.com/
Meg and i are going to relax and live it up... theatre room, dvds, ac, hot shower and tub... this is the LIFE! :)
back to the real life tomorrow!
love and hugs
monie
