"We Prayed Them Here"

This weekend, 24 students attended the "first ever" Planning for Success workshop where they worked to create their individual Work Plans, Education Plans, Finance Plans, a "Me in 30 Seconds" statement, and develop an effective resume, all designed to help them make a decision as to whether they want - or need - a PEF loan. Not all will decide to sign up - and that's OK, because in the words of a prophet, "the best PEF loan is no loan at all" - but all of these amazing young people who go on and get a good education will one day find themselves among the leaders of this country and the Church.

"We prayed them here," said Brother Griffith (First Counselor in the Georgetown Branch Presidency) as he bore his testimony on Fast Sunday which included expressing his gratitude "for what Elder and Sister Sappington are doing for our kids."

It is an incredible experience to work with a high energy and well-prepared Country Committee, to be here for the beginning of what will be a wonderful future for Guyana's young people . . . and to be the answer to their prayers!
