Molson Creek

Hi all,

Just wanted to write a brief description of my day today. We decided to head out to an area called Molson Creek today - it is a part of our territory that is only covered once a year by the congregation and has never been searched for Deaf. DC and I headed off on the bike, after raiding the Kingdom Hall for a range of magazines, books and brochures.

After an hour of butt-crunching roads, we started to see houses to call at. Many of these people are Amarindian, who are the indigenous people of Guyana, and are very shy with little schooling (and big families). We spent the day calling at all the houses in the village, along with using DC's GPS device to map the whole area and mark every house in the village. DC then uploads it and produces the only maps available on the internet of Guyana (Google doesn't have any). We had a lovely day speaking to such humble people who are all religious and so genuine with their words. We placed books, magazines and brochures at every single house, and even at the local primary school. As we were riding back home, one of the houses ran out to stop us, as they had shown their wares to another part of the family and they wanted some too - a far cry from London - and with whom we have promised to return to with a Bible! I felt bad at one house asking 9 children to share a Bible Stories book! I then returned home to conduct a study with a deaf man who attends all the meetings. We went over the meeting prep and got some answers for him. So, all in all, a busy day! No deaf found, but at least we can say that we tried and made good use of our time in the process.

Today felt like a real accomplishment and has raised our territory covering average to new heights! Bad news is that despite sun block, I got frazzled by the sun - sad face.

Love you all.
