A Trip To Linden

We had the opportunity to take a bus trip to Linden! The congregations of Rosignol and Hopetown got enough people to rent a bus and take a day trip! We got up early in the morning on saterday and headed out. Unfortunately, I had the most uncomforitable seat ever! And I thought it was going to break for the 3.5 hour way there! Also, the people around me weret talking that much. Around 10:30 we reached linden, seat intact, and a few of the local brothers and sisters met us there to show us around. We ran around with them for a bit, and they showed us Guyana's "famous" blue water lake! Its actually blue! Though you cant swim in it because there are too many chemicals in it. ha ha. But It was very pretty, and we got to see some hills! A nice change from the flat area around Bath Settlement. After that we got to go swimming in a river! That was great fun! The water was red near the bank, and so black when you got deeper, that it looked like coffee. It was beautiful! I thought the water was great, but my friends were freezing! ha ha. They were shaking horribly. Everyone wore a shirt and shorts to go swimming. Roseann was walking along the road, and stepped into a little slide like thing, used to funnel water off the road and flew down it! Thankfully she was okay, but we all had a good laugh! I wont let her live that one down! Ha ha. Finally we had the ride home. To me it made the trip. I moved chairs back a row by bumping Rishana out of her chair and she moved to the row behind me! The seat was solid, and then i could turn around and goof off with the back row! We had the entire back of the bus laughing, and telling jokes! It was one of those moments when your in another country with friends from a new congregation that you really begin to feel like your fitting in. Its great to have a family anywhere you go in Jah's organization. If any guyanese are reading this, Thank You for the wonderful memories. It will never be forgotten. A view of the front of the bus!The coffee water. See how dark it is! It was literally like swimming in coffee. Not hot coffee, just nice warm coffee. Ha ha. Well for me it was warm. I was like try swimming when there is ice on the water, THEN you will know what cold water is! Ha ha. They just stared at me and told me I'm crazy.
Where we swam in the river. Thats a bus load of witnesses!
Aaron at the blue lake!
