Georgetown and Diamond Guyana Zone Conference - March 20

We completed our South American tour yesterday with a zone conference in LaGrange, Guyana.

It was another great experience with excellent missionaries

Here they are!

One of the best things that is happening in the West Indies is a rapid increase in local missionaries serving missions or preparing to serve. They will bring incredible strength to the church in the next few years.

It is interesting that a new district presidency was called for Georgetown Guyana this week and they are all returned missionaries who served in the Caribbean (I will post their names and pictures soon).

So here are four missionaries from the West Indies serving in Guyana

Elders Bowens (St Vincent), Moses (Guyana), Ali (Trinidad), and Sookram (Trinidad)

And here are three wonderful prospective missionaries

Gavindra Sookoo, Francelene Stephen, and Chris Sustin (not sure I got his last name correct)

Another great plus for the West Indies Mission is the service of many tremendous senior missionary couples.

Here is the Georgetown/Diamond group

Elder and Sister: Evans (proselyting), Hymas (newly transferred to Guyana so that Elder Hymas can serve as a counselor in the mission presidencey), Handly (family history), Whitehead (humanitarian), and Collings (proselyting - here temporarily from the French side) - plus the Langfords (not pictured) serve as CES missionaries

As always, there was a little food and fun after the conference
