This week has been a good one. Elder Walker and I are learning more and more ASL. Our teacher really seems to like us, so she has been teaching us lessons that she reserves for only her favorite missionaries. Funny thing about her, she tends to swear a lot. Or...sign swear words. She's deaf, and she so used to not having anyone understand her, so she curses all the time. It's kind of weird, but we really like her. We have been teaching a lot of lessons lately, and we have a couple of investigators that could be accepting baptismal dates soon. I know that much of the success I have had has only been because of your continued prayers in my behalf. Thank you so much for those. I have literally received extra strength from them.
It made me happy to hear that the missionary I trained was appreciative of my efforts. It's always so wonderful to hear things like that, because to be honest, missionaries are pretty neglected people at times. Very rarely do people tell us that they appreciate what we do. Often the ward members are really hard on us, they are constantly finding things we aren't doing well enough, and they kind of set a standard for us that nobody could ever dream of reaching. Oh well, I guess it helps us to make sure we are always on our best behavior.
I hope things are going well for all of you! Love you!
