We had to go to Paramaribo to help with a Super Saturday activity. We also got to meet our area supervisor, Brother Goodman. President Gamiette went also, so we had a lot of visiting authorities for the Aroeman's to contend with. All went well but getting there was interesting.
Our friends, the Platts, are being transferred to San Maarten this week and they wanted to see Suriname before they left the area. They decided to follow us in their car. There is a picture of Elder Platt barefooted in the mud. Elder Langford had long boots, but his pants were covered with mud.
That dirt road was solid mud. We were stuck 7 times. Four times we were pulled out by a tractor and 3 times, some burly men pushed us out. By the time we reached the highway junction, we only had a hour of daylight left. It was a pretty good road so we set out for Paramaribo. Big mistake. There are patches of the paved road where the pot holes are 8-10 inches deep. We couldn't see them in the dark. We bent two wheels. We won't do that again.
