A mexican buffet at a restaurant called Bourban Street in Bangkok. Hmmmm. I was a little skeptical. J & B had some friends from Malaysia visiting who hadn't had mexican for awhile so we tried it out. It turned out to be awesome! In fact, I ate too much (as is often the case at a buffet). They had everything: burritos, enchiladas, tacos, fajitas and all the fixins'. YUM!
We had our SAD this past Sunday. There were 20 deaf there and 21 others learning sign. There's so much potential here! We've been doing search work every Saturday and usually find at least 1 deaf person. A few weeks ago I asked to men at the end of a soi if they knew of any deaf in the neighborhood. One man said yes and took me down to a restaurant where a deaf lady works. The owner said she wasn't there that day, she works Mon-Fri. So I returned the following Tues. It went great! She was excited to speak with someone in sign, she doesn't have any deaf friends. I told her about our work and she seemed excited to have her own Bible study. The following week I met her mom. Her mom was really happy for her to be able to communicate with someone in sign. The deaf lady is about 30. She didn't finish school so her sign is limited. It's also limited because of not using it much. So I've been having regular studies with her since. It's tricky to teach Bible concepts to her with such limited vocabulary but she does make a bit of progress each week. It's really neat to be a part of!
