Departures, Painting, Georgetown




This past week or so, both the Conti family and the Caldwells returned to America from their visit to Matthews Ridge. Kyle and Rehanna Caldwell left Matthews Ridge on August 26th. And Dawn, Jessi, and Paige Conti left Matthews Ridge on September 1st. We were very happy that they were able to come to Guyana and to Matthews Ridge to help out. Their hard work and good company was very much appreciated.

The walls of the inside of the Kingdom Hall that we had begun painting have been finished with a first coat of paint. This past week Blake, Micah, Garrett, Dawn, Jessi, Paige, and Eugene completed the painting of the walls. The result looks very nice and really helps to lighten up the hall.

I spent this past week in Georgetown, as I was not feeling so well. I’m better now, and aside from dealing with that, it was a very nice week. I had opportunities to go out in field service a few times in the Diamond congregation, just a bit south of Georgetown. Working in the ministry there is a lot different than doing so in Matthews Ridge. This was a nice change of pace, and it was good to be able to get to know some of the friends in that area.

The pictures included with this entry are a group shot and the finished painting of the walls inside the Kingdom Hall.
