Trip to Berbice

The first week in January took us to Berbice (four hours from Linden--North through Georgetown and then East along the Atlantic Coast) to a funeral for a favorite Aunt of Elder Moses'. Quite unusual to attend one of our Elder's family funerals; but since Elder Moses is from this country and was close, it became apparent that he should attend. We traveled across the Berbice Bridge to get there. The country is quite different from Linden and Georgetown---palm trees, rice fields, and still lots of animals. In fact, you don't want to be traveling the roads after dark!




The funeral was held in a different church and we learned lots about the "traditions of the fathers" by going; they had a viewing prior to the actual funeral at one of the family homes.


After the funeral, we traveled South East to be able to see Suriname across the waters. See the muddy water of the Atlantic Ocean. Elder Moses and Elder Brenkmann have become our best traveling partners! It was a windy day on that coast line!




We took a couple "just fun" pictures on the way home.
