On Friday night at the Georgetown YSA Center we held our much anticipated PEF Sign Up and Renewal Pizza Party. Brothers Rufino Diaz and Henry Batiste came from the DR to be with us and to share their testimonies of this great work, information about bank fees and other PEF issues with fourteen students in attendance, as well as new members of the Guyana Country Committee. Just prior to the meeting, our 28th student hit the “submit” button. By the time the pizza arrived we had started signing up another 8-10 students, but had problems with our internet connection at the branch, so only got to start 3 new applications – rescheduling the rest of the students for this week. Alexis is working on some issues with her branch president, but promises she will be ready to sign up in a month or two.
Temica and Marissa went home without signing up because I refused to consider their suggestion of cosmetology school. They need to do more homework because Temica LOVES sports and should go into something like sports medicine or physical therapy. Marissa is very artistic and really wants to be involved in some field where she can design and create. Cosmetology? What are they thinking? Sheesh, I couldn't live with myself!
We worried we would have a party and no one would come . . . or worse yet, that we would have too many show up, but all-in-all it was a great event as we come to the end of our time in Guyana!

You are valuable to us and the Lord. Thank you so much for your consecrated work. I will use this form to help these young missionaries understand their skills and talents.
