The Moores in the West Indies: On to Suriname. March 2014

When we left Guyana we flew to Suriname. Here we worked with Elder and Sister Cullimore on preparation for a Wheelchair project. The Church donates wheelchairs through LDS Charities to a local organization and teaches people in the organization on how to make sure the wheelchair is the right one for the individual. Elder and Sister Cullimore are the same specialist who work on the Food Production Projects.

When not meeting with our partner organization we had time to tour.

The Jules Wigden Bosch Bridge over the Suriname River.

Enough making like a tourist, now down to business the reason we went to Suriname.

Here we are with President Havercamp our interpreter. President Havercamp is a local leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

This is where we went to church on Sunday.

Can you imagine not understanding what was said, the talks and the singing were all in Dutch. This is a very unique experience. You have to listen to the spirit and pay attention to your feelings to get anything from the meeting.
