We have spent our first full day in Guyana and we have had the privilege of visiting some of our ex congregation members in their homes and chatting and praying with them. Everywhere we went we were greeted with such warmth and welcome (and big hugs and kisses) and it was a delight to catch up with some old faces. (Photos will follow once we get home and clear the camera).
I had to laugh as at two different houses I was greeted by ladies saying 'you put on a lot of weight girl'...which I am sure is a compliment here!! Note to self...back on the diet when we get home!
It's very weird to be back here again but at the same time it feels completely normal because everything is so familiar to us. One moving comment someone made was 'ministers come and go but they never come back and you have come back'. Another lady who is dying of cancer said she was so pleased she had seen us once more before she dies. We feel it's been very therapeutic and a real blessing for us coming back and hopefully a blessing to those we are meeting again.
