Her own little prison

Black Caimen
Hello Everyone,

How are you doing?  We are doing good.  Don and Jodee Cabral arrived on Friday.  We are excited to have them here for 6 weeks.  And in typical fashion, Don gave the talk on Sunday and we had him start teaching some friends sign language on Sunday night. Right to work.  Welcome to Guyana Cabrals!

Last Wednesday we meet 4 hard of hearing people.  They are all family.  We will start studying with them this week.  Yesterday, we meet 3 more new deaf, both of which are going to start studying as well.  So many deaf we are meeting.  There seems to be clusters.  One village may have one, two, but the next village has many.  Some live all in the same neighborhood.  Strange.

Sunday, Jaide accidentally locked herself into our room.  You see if you close our bedroom door all the way you can't open it up.  I was not home and Don & Jodee had to leave to get to meeting because Don was giving the talk.  Jaide was alone in her own little prison.  Don't worry, she had water and things to read.  I had locked myself in the room before and figured out how to get out.  So I was trying my best to explain to Jaide over the cell phone as I was riding in a bus, how to take the door knob apart.  I can only imagine what the other passengers were thinking. Over and over I would say the same thing to Jaide.  You see, my ability to explain clearly what Jaide needed to do was lacking.  I could see it clearly in my minds eye, but to explain it, well that was another thing.  Finally, Jaide figured it out and sprung herself.  Now our room has no door knob.

Word of the day next time

Love,
