Hi Everyone, It has been a long time since I have written to you. I wanted to let you know a little bit about my trip to Nairobi in the summer 2000. Understanding the culture was not a problem. Understanding the signed language was a breeze. Understanding the spoken language was a problem. If people did not speak to me in English or sign I did not understand. The school was wonderful. I really hated to leave the students. Three weeks was not long enough. Please keep in prayer a camp for the deaf in 2002. I am getting training for that now. I will be helping at a camp for the deaf in St. Vincent. I am begining to raise the money for that now. (Please pray with me that I will be able to find 100 people willing to sponsor this trip for $10) I am bringing a copy of the Easter story in sign writting with me to my next meeting. Hopefully the board will want to use this as an avenue for storytelling. Who knows? Thanks for listening, In His grip, Ida | ||||||||
