Cleaning guyanas old branch on 25th december



Hey guys

Hope you are all doing good.  Can you believe its 2014.  Time is just disappearing.  Well this is a blog about what my cong did on 25th December.  So the old branch building is now used as our literature depot as the oversight of Guyana is now with Trinidad branch.  So we were invited along with all of the congregations in the berbice area.  So we filled a bus as we always do and off we went.  We had to leave at 4am as the branch is past town and we had to get there for 7.30am.  We were early and the first ones there considering we are the farthest cong away.  Yeah skeldon.  The couple that care for the building had made us a lovely brekkie to start off our day then we all divided up into our different jobs.  They had a plan to get it all nice and clean as they are trying to sell the building.  So the pictures will give you a glimpse into our fun day and what job I volunteered for........



Breakfast time .........

All waiting for our assignments


More volunteers coming


This was living in the cleaning powder




These caterpillars were the size of my hand


Wasps nest had to be removed before we could finish gardening
Guyanas kiskadee bird

Yeah skeldon

Getting suited up.  Need long boots as the
 grounds are full of snakes and spiders

Double trouble












Constant need for water breaks. It
was a hot day





Dont watch all you health and safety brothers.......The ground
was mega muddy and it wasnt tethered to anything. But hey we all
survived and had a great day




And now you can see what job I volunteered for...........

Scrubbing all the walls by hand




Double chocolate brownie
time mmmmmmmmm

Dinner time


The view was amazing it really was.




Stand on the black when its wet you will be on the ground doh

I was water girl

Yeah Im near the edge and not tied off but the plan
was that the brothers in front of me were so if I fell
they would catch me - sounds like a good plan eh












How guyana delivers a washing machine.........




This isnt related but on new years day we had a congregation effort for field service.  We had almost 40 out and had a great day.  I love my hall






I know we are supposed to be fishers of men but we decided to take a 5 on a boat instead hehehehehe.  It was a really great day.


So as you can see we've been having a lot of fun in skeldon.  Well in the next few weeks we are going to help cater for the RBC team again.  So another bus full of eager volunteers.  Me and shelly on watermelon duty again.  Cant wait.  

Miss you all but as you can see Im having a blast......

Love Nat
