Guyana is a large country.
Missionary work has been limited mostly to areas close to Georgetown and Canje. The elders dream about someday going into the interior where there are villages of Amerindians. It seems like these sweet people are prepared and readily join the Church. Many of those who have joined the church have families living in the interior just waiting for a chance to be taught the Gospel
This week the mission got permission to take a preliminary step towards moving work into the interior. Starting next week, missionaries will be working two days a week in the large town of Lindon - about two hours south of Georgetown.
Members are excited!
Missionaries are excited!
President Robison has asked Elders Fillerup and Tupou to take this important assignment
Here is an excerpt from an email Sister Evans (couple missionary in Guyana) sent me tonight:
We wish you could have been here tonight. We invited the Johnson's (members who have family and friends in Linden) to come and meet Elder Tupou and Elder Fillerup and there was so so much electricity and excitment in the air!! They will drive to Linden with them and show them the routes and introduce them to their friends and family. They already have a list of 20-25 with phone numbers to start from!!
