Sunday in French Guiana

We are able to attend both branches:

Kourou


and Cayenne


I watched these two little boys sitting on the front row in Cayenne sacrament meeting. The smaller one spent a long time elaborately retying his tie. Ties are definitely not natural apparel for little boys and I wondered who it was that taught him so well. I asked him later and he said, "my brother". Good brother.


Aren't these multicolored flowers in front of the church gorgeous?


We finished our day with an incredible experience. We went and visited one of the 'lost sheep' members and found a fine woman who heads a foundation to protect and care for three-toed sloths (native to the amazonian rain forests and found in French Guiana). Being a former zoo-keeper and student of zoology, I was thrilled to handle these amazing creatures.



Not being a former zoo-keeper, President Robison wasn't so sure


Scary photo, eh?


We leave for Guadeloupe today (Monday) to hold the last Zone Conference of our tour. It has been extraordinary so far!

  1. Thank you so much for taking pictures that young men might not think about taking. I loved the flowers outside the church. Thanks for all you do for and with our sons. Sister Jestice
