This week was well... pretty much the same, with a few exceptions noted below.
We had "Multi-zones" this week. Rather than 2 zones gathered together to recieve Trainings, we grouped half the mission together and did North-Half andSouth-half, meetings.
Elder Campbell and I gave a training for the south half. We layed out the "4 commandments of posting". I hope this was well recieved. We have had a few issues with posting lately, so a reminder of our boundaries was well needed for the mission (including myself).
Without going into detail, I had an encounter with some fellow missionaries this week that humbled me. I was rather upset with these missionaries who weren't doing what they were supposed to, but after consulting with Elder Rich, (look out ladies he's coming home soon) I was invited to see things from their perspective. Elder Rich opened my understanding of how they might feel, and rather than angrily calling them, I genuinely wanted to help them. I wish Elder Rich would narrate a book, that would be fun to listen to.
A LITTLE FUN! WATCH & WAIT FOR IT.........
I am continuing to interpret for an upcoming book. I don't have all the details, but this week we interviewed (meaning me interpreting the questions asked) a College Professor (hearing) and his Deaf daughter who is in college. We also had the opportunity to talk with a Deaf man who had been a college graduate (of course I won't name names). We heard about their stories and how they learned to sign, also we got new insights into Deaf culture. Super cool stuff!! If you have specific questions, send them my way, we talked about alot so I won't put it all down here.
Anywho, I'm not perfect, but I learned something important.
That's the quick edition of that story, sorry for the ambiguity.
Hang in there!
