Bailey. Profesor Bailey.

Me and Esa went to work with the sign language group in Pekin today. We worked with Dana, a sister from the states who has been for a few weeks now. We went to see a bible student who is deaf and blind. Her name is Clara Luz. If any of you had a chance to meet her , you'd be so amazed. She can spell her own name with magnets and her sign are impressive. She always wants to teach too. She'll make sure you know the signs too. There is a bag that has all her materials in it and she will pull everything out herself, including some hand sanitizer that she will put in everyone's hands. Today I gave my first prayers in sign language!!! Granted they were so short, basically just thanking Jehovah for helping us learn about him. But I did it!!! After that Esa and I went to the university to do informal witnessing. They day was hot but productive. On a side note we had really good melon batidas (shakes). It was made with fresh cantaloupe and it was sooooo refreshing.

Today I went down to the New York institute and sat down for an interview. I am officially an English teacher now!!! I never even really got to go through the application process or anything. Because I'm a native English speaker I got the job immediately. And to add to it all, I start working tomorrow!!! My first class is at 2:30 and I'm taking over for someone mid-semester. The great thing about this place is that they love the witnesses ! There are 6 or 7 witnesses who work there. They know we new time off and are very aware of a pioneer schedule, so I know this is definitely a blessing from Jehovah. I was so shell shocked from how fast everything happened but Esa helped me out with things like starting a lesson plan and how to teach the students. I'll definitely get back to you all on how tomorrow goes.

Below is a picture of my mom's legs. She was bitten several times by Malles( pronounced My-as). The bites swell up a bit and itch for weeks. But it's nothing a little rubbing alcohol can't fix. Also, here a street we walked on back home from the university and the last picture is Clara Luz.
