Primary in Parika


We visited Parika Group. It is brand new and is next to the Essequibo River far to the west of Georgetown. We found a lively group of Latter-day Saints, some who have been members for a long time. They had been attending the Vreed-en-Hoop Branch. This is a picture of the Primary. We noticed that most of the members were between 18 and 30 and the Sunday School Teacher was quite good. We asked her if she would be interested in beginning an Institute class there and she agreed. We reported to President Barrow and he said he would call her. The Seminary and Institute programs are now under the direction of the District Presidents and Stake Presidents. This is a new thing and we are delighted because now the priesthood is in charge.
