Ricks - Senior Couple

Just a classic picture of our newest Senior Couple in Guyana. The Ricks. He has been called as the first counselor in the Mission Presidency; they come from California. This is one day when we were meeting for lunch in Georgetown, on May 10, 2010. Just a great picture!

Georgetown Zoo with the Weedons

Saturday, March 13, 2010, the Weedons (CES Couple) joined us for a few moments at the Georgetown Zoo. It was a "spur of the minute" idea and we just did it!
















Not a huge zoo; but nice! And it was fun to enjoy it with Elder and Sister Weedon. They have since left Guyana for health reasons and have been assigned to the Nova Scotia Misson. A couple of our favorite people!

Trip to the Sea Wall

Georgetown is surrounded by water on two sides: West side by the Demerara River and the North side by the Atlantic Ocean--very brown, muddy water! Since the town is below sea level, there is a sea wall on the North. Lots of people visit and also it has become a walk-way for the exercisers, especially in the mornings and late evenings! One day while in Georgetown, we took a quick excursion along the wall. The tide was out and so the ocean was lower than usual; but during the rainy season, it has been known to flood over this wall.



We explored and found a sanctuary for birds, fish, and monkeys.

Trips to Georgetown

Posting some pictures of what we have seen most often on our trips into Georgetown, the capital of Guyana--two hours North of Linden: School students in their uniforms.


Carts and horses carrying lumber, people, and other things.



Overloaded! and another cart!


Cows! and men carrying their birds!


Old cement mixers to water lilies in the waterways!


We enjoy these trips!
