Here in Gambia
HERE IN GAMBIA My trip to Gambia Africa started on Wednesday the 23rd out of St. Louis. I will be living with a deaf family Josiah, Elizabeth, and their two children. I arrived, to New York where I met up with Josiah's deaf parents. Josiah's parents were flying out for a visit. We traveled together from NY to Gambia. I had a wonderful two-day trip. I am now with the Smith family. They warmly welcomed me to their home. We started getting to know each other so we can work together better. They are aware that I am deaf-blind and welcome me to touch their hands to communicate when I need. I've also enjoyed playing with the Smith's children. Today, January 27, was my first time to experience the deaf church at our home. Josiah immediately offered me to sign in ASL the worship songs for church service (the young men enjoyed learning ASL). I will be learning GSL. It is very fascinating to me to see how young deaf men interact with each other with many not knowing...
