Hello friends & family,
Every single minute was well used, and that knowledge alone is very comforting and rewarding!!
The highlight of the week was last sunday. We had 4 friends attending worship services at the same time, the only issue was that each of them required a different form of sign language.
1 of them is in Brazil, and needed Portuguese Sign language. Elder Hallsted has been teaching her for longer than I have, and knows roughly 40 ish signs, so he took on that task.
We have another friend who needed a regular ASL interpretation, I decided to interpret for him.
We had another friend who is still learning ASL and needed a simplified version, Elder Cluff was on that.
Also at the same time, we had a friend who's mother only spoke spanish and wanted to go to the Spanish church, so Hermana Jacobs interpreted the Spanish service into english, and Elder Ericksen into ASL for her.
We were all at the Family History Center (FHC) with about 10 other missionaries at the same time, using different computers.
Hands were flying everywhere!!
I feel bad for all the other missionaries in the same room as us, they were not paying any attention to the Mission Devotional.
About Halfway through the talks, we found that our friend Cody was actually watching the Portuguese Sign Language instead of the Gesturing. He was a little confused, but then started understanding once he found the correct person interpreting.
Zone leader responsibilities are super fun! We had our first Zone accountability last saturday. Some excellent goals were set. I never understood how much effort needs to take place for every zone activity/meeting to take place.
Elder Hallsted and I visited 2 zones, Ontario and Jurupa to share the Series training. They seemed very excited to post their series, and we have already received positive feedback from each zone.
I want to leave y'all with some homework:
