This is my dear friend Nicola.  She took such good care of us at the Marriott.
This was her last day of work there.  I'm sure going to miss her.

All "squeezed in" for the ride home



Elder McMillian and Elder Leitch are in the back.
  I just want to share a miracle that they shared with me.
 During District Conference President Baird told all the members that while he was speaking a name or names would come to their minds.  Then  as he concluded his talk he asked them to think of the names again.  He told them that these were people the Lord was preparing to hear the gospel and it was their responsibility to share it with them.  He challenged them to have a goal for a "white Christmas" to bring these people into baptism. One family in the congregation went immediately to the missionaries and shared the name that had come to them.  It was their neighbors.  The only problem was that their neighbors did not speak English.  The missionaries asked what language they spoke.  It was Spanish.  It just so happened that Elder McMillian is one of our Spanish speaking missionaries and Elder Leitch is as well.  That was a miracle in and of itself in English speaking Guyana.  As they met with the family and were concluding their lesson the missionaries asked if there was something they could specifically pray for for this family.  The father answered, "Yes, please pray that we can become members of your church".  The Lord truly is preparing people to hear the message of His restored gospel.  We only need to act on the promptings we receive to share it.
