The day arrived… we went to GUYANA

On February 2 we agreed with Brent from Global Lutheran Outreach to buy plane tickets to Guyana, and the departure date was February 26. That was how we began to say goodbye to our friends. The flight left at 1:40 p.m. of Guatemala and thus began our new adventure.

Our arrival

We arrived in Panama at 5 in the afternoon at the Tocumen airport.  Sarina Singh, administrator of Guyanisse Outreach, was waiting for us outside, to take us to the hotel and rest because at eleven in the morning a long trip awaited us to our new home in the Guyanesse Outreach building, which we arrived at around 3 in the afternoon, and thank God we found no traffic and everything went as planned, although it was a long trip, we made it now we serve God in Guyana.

Our challenges…

1) Adapt to the weather.

2) Learn the Guyanese Creole Language.

3) Know the value of things in Guyana so that they do not take advantage of us because we are foreigners.

4) Adapting the apartment where we live to feel like home takes a bit of time but the great advantage is that Guyanesse Outrech provided us with a lot of help to achieve this and with each passing day it feels more familiar.
