some more news

The other volunteer showed up yesterday. She isn't an interpreter and actually is really nervous about signing in general. She has only taken 3 years of ASL and she doesn't want to interpret. So i am trying to teach her some FSL and hopefully she will pick it up. I am pretty bummed cause i was expecting a lot of help from her. I am very busy now all day long. From early morning until late at night. I have no time for anything. I will probably come home as white as when i left! :) but i am ok with that. As long as i get to keep having an amazing time here with the Deaf kids. I get to go to a fiesta with them on Monday. Also there is a christain organization here called LCOD (leyte Christian Organization for the Deaf) I was asked to be a part of it today even though i am hearing. The Deaf kids said they were all talking about it and they know that I feel the same things they feel and they know i love the Lord. So i agreed to be a part of that Organization. They have a two year anniversary coming in April that i WISH i could be here for but i can't stay that long! I was asked to write the Mission statement for the organization! I am super honored. I will be working on that tomorrow after i go to another meeting. They are meeting from 1 to 4 again. I am so blessed to be a part of this group. We have come up with a name for the other organiztion that I am helping start.
E.A.R.N.- H.I (employment assistance resource network for the Hearing Impaired). We need a logo and a brochure and a bunch of other things for that yet too. Me and patrick will be meeting to set all of that up. Patrick is a part of LCOD also. So i am pretty excited that God has placed these amazing people here to take care of me.
I might not be making much sense cause i am SUPER tired. So i will stop writing now. Much more has happend i feel but i am not sure what else to write.

there is free logo software on the net if you can download stuff like that, and they give you a professional look, http://www.aaa-logo.com/, like this one, but there are others.
