Mothers Day

Today there were several happy Mommas based on the number of Skype calls made by missionaries serving here in Guyana!  As on Christmas Day, our missionaries provided us with their mothers’ Skype name, then we set up our five laptops at the Church so each young man could talk to the one who gave them life as well as to grandparents, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, neighbors and probably even a girlfriend or two - all gathered together at home around the computer screen!

Sister Georgina Augustine (Diamond Branch) was so eager, when she arrived at the Prashad Nagar chapel, to talk to all of her 3 missionaries.  Her son Elder Milton Stephen is serving in Berbice; her younger son Elder Aron Stephen is serving in Demerara and her daughter Francilene Esteves, is currently serving in Rio de Janerio, Brazil .  She spoke by Skype to one son, enjoyed a face-to-face conversation with her second son, but unfortunately we were unable to connect with the daughter in Brazil.  She was very disappointed, but in true Guyanese fashion, she took it in stride!

Closer to my heart, I also had the happy opportunity to catch up on family news from home by way of Skype. I talked to my own mother and later saw the beautiful faces of most of my kids, including Kaytee, Kelly, Michael and David.  Stacy tried to call, but we never did connect!  All-in-all, it was a lovely day!
