Family and Friends,
We have started
an ASL class for all interested. Unfortunately, only three people showed
up! So we ahve changed the date and hope things will improve!
Two Spanish Speaking Sister Missionaries from the Texas Houston
East Mission found some Deaf girls and gave us them as referrals.
However, the girls didn't feel comfortable with three random 20 year old
guys (Elders) going over. So with permission from our Mission President
AND their Mission President, we got to have them join us in two
contacts. The first was in their area. The girl was excited to meet with
us again. The second one was outside the Sister's area. So we met them
and taught the second referral the Restoration on the spot. Very smart
girl! The Sisters were so excited to watch us teach a lesson in sign
language. Now we are all friends!
Saturday we had the opportunity to help the M
family do service in their backyard. They are a part member family whom
has had many struggles and has a Deaf son and a Hard of Hearing husband,
not member. We setup a playset for them (thankfully doing that with my
dad before my Mission gave me the experience I needed, thanks dad!) and
we spent 6 hours doing that. Crazy!
Sunday we had church. Former Missionaries Alder and
Kauo came to visit. I think they need a haircut! Then met the other
referral I mentioned earlier.
Today we were
invited to join the Magnolia District in celebrating two Missionary's
birthdays. Tons of fun hanging out at the park. Got to play card games
and one of the Sister's names is Schellhous, however she likes to cheat,
so we all call her Cheathous. Then i joined in cheating and they called
me Mr. Cheathous. That became awkward, since it implied we were
married, haha.
Anyway, that's this past week! Thanks for the prayers, keep them coming!
Love,
