Ever since I started taking ASL classes at Sierra College I have wanted to go with a couple of missionaries to Southern California to help Deaf-blind people.
Friday, my Creative Sign professor, Dr. Bill Vicars, taught us all how to communicate with Deaf-blind people and he taught us by an awesome evercise.
He wanted us to break up into pairs, one person closing their eyes and the other "fingerspelling" into the other's hand. (Fingerspelling is signing each letter of the alphabet)
Honestly, it was a LOT harder than I thought.
Some letters were easier, like "L", "Z", "A" and "S"
The harder letters were "T", "N' and "M"
The hardest letter was "C" because of it's odd shape in the hand.
But, it occured to me how awesome it would be to go to SoCal and help the Deaf-blind before I move to Idaho.
Pray that my friends and I get the opportunity to go. (The last opportunity fell through)
God Bless you!
