Welcome to jungle, where the missionaries go to play! Or in
our case hike, swing on vines and get soaked by a waterfall! Yes I know, it
sounds awesome! Hopefully none of this sounds prideful but I'm just surprised
that I had a chance to do that! In Suriname part of it is jungle so I had the
chance to go to the Binna lands which is a more jungle part of Suriname south
of Paramaribo. It was a long drive there but it was well worth the drive! To
get to the part of the Binna lands that we wanted to go, Brownsberg, we had to
drive through some pretty crazy terrain. We took the "Bakkara Bus",
missionary van through some stuff that made me think we were going to have to
push soon! This week we also had the chance to go to a baptism for a family of
converts which was really cool to be at, there were a ton of people! The whole
family had such strong testimonies and it was awesome being able to say I knew
the missionaries who are out here with me doing the good work! I'm getting
better at understanding but I still talk kind of funny but I learned a new
tactic; whenever people laugh at me because of my Dutch, I just smile! It
usually makes them want to help me learn more so as long as I "whistle
while I work" I should be fine! Too bad I never learned how to whistle but
the analogy is still there! Fijne dag mensen!
