Tuesday, we had a somewhat laid back day. Actually had to move out of our house to make room for a larger missionary family. Then we cleaned up the house a bit for the new family to help out.This all took longer than I had anticipated so no cycle shopping today.
We took a 20 minute walk after lunch to an internet cafe so we could get cheaper rates (7 1/2 cents per minute)to call our son in Indiana. Otherwise the cost is 50 cents per minute. It was great to hear his voice and catch up on his life.
Tomorrow is a Hindu holiday called Phagwah in Guyana. The Hindus throw violet colored dye on anyone or any car that is not opposed to it. They also throw mud or water on each other just for the fun of it. So we will try to keep a low profile tomorrow as we travel to the Corentyne. We travel for a couple of hours with a Presbyterian missionary couple from Canada on the one major road going east (and west) that covers civilization in Guyana. We have to wait at the docks for a ferry going across the Berbice River, then travel about 40 minutes longer to get to the settlement (town) called
Nigg. So Thursday we start house hunting.
Nothing comes easy so pray alot.
Well JBj, praise God for your safety from the 100 sightings of funnel clouds in the Missouri area. Life can sure be exciting.

Talk of that Hindu Holiday reminds me of some of the Indian movies I have seen - so I can picture it- that must be interesting to see. Praying for you guys! It is fun to hear your adventures! God Bless - Christine
