Everything's been going good this weekend. We did a few bible studies yesterday morning. Shameniel joined us. Shes been hanging out with us and staying at our place a lot. Lots of fun! And shes been helping us cook Guyanese foods;) We're hoping she picks up some ASL while we're here. The brothers talked with us after meeting today about encouraging a few of the sisters to learn a little ASL so that when we leave they can help continue the interpreting and studies in this area. One of the sisters they want us to help is a sister from England. Shes been involved with British Sign for many years and her and her daughter are planning to move here permanently very soon. So she really wants to learn some ASL since that's what the deaf use here. Our bible studies are all doing really good. Hopefully we can get more to come to meeting. Oh! Niasha commented today. She was so proud of herself and we were pretty proud also:) She said "Jesus disciples changed their personalities". We ended up working on that one during meeting, but we're hoping to help her plan comments as part of our study with her during the week. Everyone has been saying that she seems to be paying attention more now that we've been here. Hopefully shes understanding us. The interpreting still makes me really nervous.
Last night was really nice and cool outside. Definitely a good change. It was really hot while we were out walking to our studies in the morning. While we were waiting for a bus to come home a 16ish kid across from the stop started singing to us lol. Then we get on the bus and there's about 24 people in this bus made for 15. Little kids were sitting on strangers laps and when one person wanted to get off or on, everyone had to climb out and then reorganize ourselves. We felt like clowns. But it was better than walking home 9 villages. I walked in the house, changed, grabbed my book and music then ended up falling asleep in the hammock. Which I'm probably going to do again this afternoon...
Love you all!

Hi again Danielle,
ReplyDeleteI sure am enjoying reading your blog entries. I think it's great that you can interpret ASL for your Bible Student. I am sure it takes a lot of effort, but Jehovah is blessing you for it. Nothing brings more joy that helping someone learn the truth. Your description of the 24 people on the 15 person bus did remind me of the clown car, and how many clowns did you get into the VW Bug?? I haven't see any pictures yet, unless I need to search your blog a little better. Hope to see some soon. Love,
Danielle Swisher
Keep up the good work Danielle. We are very proud of you and love you lots!!!!! Dad & Mom
