Today we met up with a sister Naima in the congregation who is involved in sign language and she took us out in service. We walked crazy far and took the bus where possible to visit some of the deaf names that they have already found. Bev talked with a woman named Sherri-Ann on her back steps and got to use the iPod with the scriptures on it. Alyssa got to talk with a woman named Sharon who lives in the just "smile, wave, & don't stay too long" part of the neighborhood. She was very sweet. Along with those we found about 4 or 5 deaf today total which was wonderful. Some very nice, some a little aprehensive but regardless rewarding. I was the designated "scripture finder" since i wasn't quite ready to sign. Preperation is definitely key. Bev & Alyssa did such a good job. Poor Marchet was sick today.
But tomorrow is another day. & i cant wait. Tonight will definitly be a better night since we decided to move the matresses into the livingroom onto the semi cooler tile, & invested in the cheapest fan we could find. It's hot pink & the writing on it is in Japanese. It's wonderful. When we plugged it in we all took a moment & sat in front of it.
~We have a perfect view of the sun setting right outside our apartment & it is beautiful!~
~Oh & just one more thing... My favorite quote for the day 2day was "Hey baby, the color or your hair is like the color of my heart." yea..
