63rd Week

Hello Family!





How are you all doing? It is still a sweltering hot here in Nickerie and we are working working and working. I feel like I tell you that all every week but I guess that is how it works right? This last week was a busy one and it was gone before we knew it. It is funny how fast time flies when you are out here. I wonder if it is going by so quickly for you but that really is just a passing thought I have from time to time!





Either way, cool story of the week. Elder Lundgren and I rode our bikes from New Nickerie to the river that borders Suriname and Guyana. They have a place they call the backtrack where people cross illegally using speedboats. In some of the photos I sent you'll notice a little dock like place. That is the backtrack. It is very sketchy to say the least but a lot of people use it all the time. I've come to the opinion that Suriname really doesn't care (As it is mainly Guyana citizens that come in illegally) so long as those people work in the rice fields in Nickerie and don't come to the city as inbetween the two is where the passports are checked. Eitherway, I hope you liked the photos.





Nickerie also hosted Parbo night. Parbo is the name of the national neer. Parbo Beer. They have a big festival here and wow there were a lot of people and the day after a lot of trash. That was saturday and I guess maybe that is why attendence was low on sunday. :) Either way, it was a good time trying to navigate the streets.





I'm out of time again and I'm sorry either way though I love you and I hope you are all doing great. Our best investigator just asked us for money and dropped himself so we are back to the drawing board but so it is! I love you all and I think about you all a lot. Some more then other but still a lot okay?








I love you,
