Home Sweet Home

Monday 25th August 2008

So on the following day I met Aunty Olga and two Deaf at church.

I entered the church with so much excitement in my heart! lol I laugh again! God is so amazing! I just walked in and I saw a young man sitting at the back of the church and I just knew he was Deaf. I dont know how but I just knew. So he smiled at me and I smiled back. His smile was so genuine that I couldnt help but give him a smile straight from my soul. I sat next to him and I just wanted to say something but I did not know what to say or do lol.

When Aunty Olga arrived I was not amazed when she introduced this man as Ian, one of the Deaf leaders. Hmmmmm...and when I think about it I was a bit concerned with how they would respond to me and how I would communicate with them but Ian and Shevon were so warm and I felt as if I found my home instantaneously.

On this day, I also met Kerri and Denyse. I would have never predicted that this simple meeting with Kerri would have evolved to many more and I felt as if God was soothing my concerns of communication with the Deaf when Denyse explained that when she started to help she knew nothing about Sign Language as well.

The meeting at Denyse's home was just so...is there an adjective?? First of all, on our drive to her home I felt so comfortable with Aunty Olga. It was as if we always knew each other! lol yes I laugh again! When she began to tell me about herself I felt as if she was telling me about myself! lol (Please note that when I laugh out loud I'm just amazed at the way God works!)

Anyway, I was so eager to learn Sign Language and communicate with Ian and Shevon! I started to imitate Aunty Olga and Denyse!! lol I wonder what Ian and Shevon thought?? oh yes hehe

That night I went to my Aunt's home so contented and absolutely at peace!!
