Wednesday we set out for Vreed-en-hoop. It is a town on the other side of the Demerara River. The river is very wide and shallow. There is a pontoon bridge across it. It wiggles and wobbles as you drive across. I tried to take pictures out of the car window and most of them were blurry because of the movement. The seminary class in Vreed-en-hoop is taught by a sister who is a fifth grade teacher. She uses her classroom for seminary. Notice the desks are the old fashioned ones where the writing surface is attached to the back of the seat in front. Two children can sit at each desk. I noticed that while the desks were wood and very old, there was not a mark on them. No initials, no carvings, nothing. The children are grateful for their school. I took one picture of some little ones peeking into the classroom to watch. The spirit was strong and the teaching was wonderful. The kids love seminary and are getting a lot out of it. We are hoping that the seminary program will produce the leaders the church needs.
