Wow is an expression of worship. God treated us with such coolness in our trip to Guyana. As they say in Jamaica “No problem mon.” Our luggage went through fine, “mum they were when our 30# personal items and carry-ons came, back-packs were not allowed as a personal item except in our case. (Really they just didn’t enforce it.) The Customs officials at Cheddi Jagan International Airport only said without looking at us “pass through” after looking to see our paper was in order and only 2 young boys followed me to the car to beg for small change! The biggest problem was when I tried getting into Ken’s car on the right side where the steering wheel was located—the boy say “You gonna drive nah, with a big smile on his face.” So much for cool on my part!

The trip from the airport was uneventful.J Because of the 2007 World Cup Cricket Competition private investors are building hundreds of new homes and a few new hotels as well. Hoping that they will be able to keep the tourists coming back by offering casino gambling in Guyana now! It might just work! Only Christ can give peace and happiness without a hangover, though.

Today we saw Br. Shawn, Sis. Anetta, Br. John Persaud, and Sis. Zed from Berbice as well as the cook and house cleaner for the Glovers—Sis. Yvonne. So we go to Berbice on Monday or Tuesday.


Lunch was yummy—cole slaw with a little sugar and very little mayo, stew beef, fat roti (saddha) and pine for dessert. Supper now calls.

All the best,
