It was a great time! It was a slightly stressful because some of the interpreters felt really nervous about their parts. But it all worked out. There were 7 deaf that came. The really cool thing was that 5 of them traveled at least 3 hours to come. They have all been contacted within the past 6 months and are progressing well. Really impressive! The other 2 were locals who were contacted a few weeks ago.
The southern circuit is small, there were about 350 in attendance. I'm not sure how many baptized-maybe 5. There were 87 at the pioneer mtg Friday (yes, I went, no beach time but that's ok.) Out of the 87 about 30 are Thai. So there are over 50 foreigners serving down there! They're mostly Japanese and Koreans. So in addition to trying to understand the Thai (for interpreting) we had to try to understand the foreigners trying to speak Thai. It was tricky.
About Me
I'm currently reading...
The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis turned out to be quite educational and entertaining. I feel like I learned a lot about chess, not enough to want to play it, but I do have a renewed respect for it.
I've just started Mr. Dixon Disappears by Ian Sansom. A friend gave it to me in the States saying it's a fun, light story that's very entertaining. I'm just at the part where Mr. Dixon has disappeared and the main character is wrongly accused. The writing style is witty and a bit sarcastic...fun combo.
