Our 3 month extension in Guyana was up in October. To “celebrate” such a milestone we ceremonially observed our government mandated trip to Suriname. It was good to see our friends in Suriname again. We got to work out in service a few times with our friend Franklin and we stayed at the apartment of a couple we're close friends with, Cedrick and Charlotte. They were nice enough to take a day off from work and take us swimming at a place named “Cola Creek”. It's fittingly named because the water is the same color as Coca-Cola. Don't worry, it was safe. The water is only that color because of the minerals in the soil. The congregation was just as warm and friendly as the last time we went there. We wished we could have spent more time there but before we knew it our week was up and we headed back to Guyana for our pioneer seminar and circuit assembly.
Suriname! Cool! Those little visa trips can be such a hassle, but they can also be totally fun... when you're part of a worldwide brotherhood! :-)
