A Trip to Paradise!

Hey everybody, we hope you are good..and enjoying your heat wave :) so nice to hear your stories of things happening at home. I know we've said it before but your support and just hearing from you is really nice, it spurs us on, so thank you!
We have had quite a lovely week off. We went to Baganara for a couple of days. It is a beautiful island in the middle of the Essequibo River. We were the only people there, so we thoroughly enjoyed being looked after and having all our meals cooked for us. We have done some sunbathing, chilling out in the hammocks and reading which was absolutely lovely.....

Isn't it beautiful!?

 

We even tried our hand at a bit of kayaking. We had so much fun. We were told not many people make it around the whole island... It took us two hours granted, but we made it. Amy and Naomi were in one boat, and Molly and Daisy in the other. Here we are before we got in....

On Thursday, we went to see Kaieteur Falls..something that everyone had even telling us to do. It absolutely blew our minds!

Here is the tiny 13 seater plane that picked us up from the island.

The plane was packed! But the views were stunning, especially for Molly who was sat in the cockpit alongside the driver. We must admit we were a little scared!! But the views were completely worth it. Kaieteur Falls is the tallest single drop in the world, five times the size of Niagara Falls. So to call it 'amazing' is a huge understatement. We even had to take a guided tour through the jungle to get to the falls. We also went to see Orinduik Falls (spellcheck!) which are some rapids in the border of Guyana and Brazil. So it was quite a day...one that we will always remember!

We could write a lot more about how we felt seeing this, but pictures speak louder than words, don't they? All we can say is it really brought Jehovah's power to life for us. It was an incredible experience.

 

We hope you've enjoyed looking at our pictures! They don't do it justice but at least it's a taster. We would definitely recommend a visit in Paradise. Imagine how much more awe inspiring it will be then :)

We are enjoying being back in Charity now and seeing our studies and the brothers and sisters. We will be sad to see this next month go by quickly! Oh and by the way, we are having an absolute heat wave here!! ;) 

Oh and also the bugs are ever thriving! 

We found a slipper was a fairly effective method of combatting this particular cockroach.

Naomi is our chief bug lady, with Amy coming close up second (apart from with rats.) Molly still screams a lot but is becoming braver (see above..) and Daisy still cant go anywhere near the bugs, dead or alive!!
