Ellen is one of those people that like to study in strange places--especially on the floor. She was studying on the sun porch on the second floor when a storm came up with very wild winds. It blew so hard it was coming in the screen all the way across the room so she had to protect herself and books in the doorway from the rain......

We have had an interesting time with these young ladies, Ellen White and Katie Matthews. They are cooking something all the time which everyone enjoys. Besides that we have people giving us food often. I have wondered why, but I guess it's because they think we don't eat right or something or that we need to learn to eat Guyanese food.
Ellen and Katie are very busy at the Centre on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. You can read their blog at www.ellenandkatieinguyana.blogspot.com to find out all about what they are doing. I read it just to find out because I am not there much to see what they are up too. I go on Fridays and last Friday they were teaching the young people to line dance. Some of the staff also joined in.
If you read their blog you will see that they have had some problems with stomach ailments. I am grateful that I only had a problem with it once. Occasionally, something doesn't set right but it hasn't lasted long.
John has not had to run to #57 Village to keep paying people as he has the checkbook for the Mission now that the carpenters are through working. We have spent all the funds that Brother Almond Katryan was able to send from the Churches where he presented the work except for $700.00. As I mentioned we have all the electrical work to do, plus get the water turned on, build a platform, have the gates made, put up gutters and furnish the building. Brother Almond is shipping some pews that will have to be adjusted. We have some pulpit furniture here at Corriverton Baptist that they can borrow until they are able to get their own. Roadside has an offering box for them to use, and we have some benches and chairs we can use in the mean time until the pews can be prepared.
We would appreciate your prayers on behalf of the work that is yet to be done. Also, a crusade is being scheduled in a few weeks and we anticipate holding a service in the new building at that time. We would also desire your prayers on behalf of the Crusade as it will be conducted in both Churches and the #57 Mission. John will be speaking and we have a number of special numbers that Ellen and Katie are helping to work up. Pastor Terry Rohit is handling the details and setting up the announcement on the public address system they use for announcing funeral notices and special meetings, etc. (a vehicle that drives all over the area with a speaker on top of his vehicle blaring the news). Its kind of like a "town crier".
