Goede middag iedereen!
I made it to Guyana safely and I'm currently serving in
Bushlot, Berbice! It's certainly a lot different teaching in English, I got so
used to doing everything in Dutch that even my subconscious got used to it. The
transition has had some hiccups but it's getting better.
On Tuesday morning I drove down to Zanderij at around 3
o'clock in the morning. Sister Parker, Sister Vernes, Elder Christianson and I
were all flying out of the country. Their flights left at around 5:00 but mine
wasn't until 10:00 so I had to wait a while. I think it was the longest I've
been somewhere, not working, luckily I was able to make some new friends in the
airport haha.
This week has been pretty crazy with trying to figure out
working permits and finding time to actually work in our area. My new companion
is Elder Guzman (this is my third companion this transfer) his parents are from
El Salvador and he's from Virginia. He's pretty cool, he has a lot of funny
stories about when he was home.
We also had Zone Meeting this week with President Egbert;
after having so many crazy things happen, I was pretty relieved to see him!
During our interview we spoke Dutch a bit and it was nice to hear it! The other
missionaries here in Guyana are pretty new, I never thought I would be
considered a "Senior" missionary, even though I've grown a lot on my
mission, I still feel very young. Also, people in Guyana love white people from
America, it's a little scary how much!
We also had Multi-branch conference in Conje, we got there a
bit late because of the bus we were in but we got there in time to listen to
most of the speakers and also to sing in the choir. They talked a lot about
family traditions and how important it is to show your love for your family. If
you haven't told your: mom, dad, brother, sister or anyone else you love,
"I love you", I invite you to do so!
Love,
Elder Hardy
