French Guyana

French Guyana is located about 3,000 miles southest of the United States. French Guyana is a possession of France. About 90% of the people living in French Guyana are Negros or Creoles. French Guyana is mostly in the rainforest of South America. Most of its inhabitants live on the coast rather than in the rainforest. French Guyana sits just over the equator in South America. French Guyana has more than 20 islands. French Guyana has lots of small capes and peninsulas along its coast.

French Guyana was the place the first European sailors landed. Devils island is a small island that for many years was a brutal prison camp. It was closed in 1945.

French Guyana is full of economy that is payed for by the government. Jobs include gold mining, prosing agricultural, forest products, shrimp, farming. Farmers don't raise enough food to supply the country, so most food is being imported.

"Now, my brethren and sisters, the time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a season to be strong. It is a time to move forward without hesitation, knowing well the meaning, the breadth, and the importance of our mission. It is a time to do what is right regardless of the consequences that might follow. It is a time to be found keeping the commandments. It is a season to reach out with kindness and love to those in distress and to those who are wandering in darkness and pain. It is a time to be considerate and good, decent and courteous toward one another in all of our relationships. In other words, to become more Christlike."
Gordon B. Hinckley, "This Is the Work of the Master," Ensign, May 1995, 71
