This past week has been exciting, as there are many new faces here in Matthews Ridge. A number have come to visit to help out in the ministry and in the congregation. Kyle and Reanna Caldwell are a young couple from Framingham, Massachusetts. Dawn Conti and her two daughters, Jessi and Paige, are from Jamestown, New York. Garrett Wilson is a young brother from Woonsocket, Rhode Island. There are also two young brothers from Washington state, Micah Gillen and Blake Weigum, who have been here for about a month, and are planning to stay here in Matthews Ridge until the middle of September. They’ve been holding down the fort here for the last couple weeks. The rest of us just got into Matthews Ridge in the past week or so and are settling in. We’ve been having a nice time going out in the ministry together and enjoying one another’s association.
Rainy season is nearing its end, but it certainly isn’t over yet, as we’ve had some great rain storms. We had an earthquake here a few nights ago as well. I woke up to everything shaking, but there was no apparent damage. Others said they woke up and realized it was an earthquake too, whereas some said they took it for nothing more than someone just jumping around. Why you would get up in the middle of the night and start jumping up and down I don’t know, but the point being the quake wasn’t anything too extreme. It’s been hot hot here the last few days as well. And so as you can see, we get quite the variety of weather conditions in the interior of Guyana.
The pictures included with this week’s entry are of the visiting brothers and sisters in front of the Kingdom Hall, and of some working in field service.
