Hello Everyone,
How are you doing? We are doing good. Today, Don and Jodee are leaving. To quote one of the greatest movies of all time, "Muppets take Manhatten", in the song "Saying Goodbye", Scooter sums up how we feel, "Saying goodbye, why is it sad? Makes us remember the good times we've had. Much more to say, foolish to try. Its time to say goodbye." We have had a blast with them. The deaf and the Congregation will miss them both. But, most of all I will miss Don's casserole (mashed potatoes, hotdogs, mashed potatoes, topped with a scrumptious layer of fake cheese. Sorry, Don, for giving away your secrets). His casserole will be spoken of here in Guyana for years to come. It was a smash hit among the local friends. Thanks for coming guys!
This week was great in the ministry. It is nice to see the Bible students making progress, and starting to understand more. Tuesday, on Ramzan's study, Don and I had to try to explain what sin is. How do you explain what is sin is to someone with no concept of it? That is what we were thinking. Thankfully, Ramzan has a decent sign language vocabulary and knows right and wrong, good and bad. After showing pictures of bad actions, and drawing a picture of a bullseye and a man shooting an arrow. If he hits the center thats perfect, if he misses that is sin. After much explaining, here comes the test. We showed him a picture of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, before the rebelled, and asked "do they sin?" He answered, "no." We showed a picture of them after the rebellion and he said, "sin, health deteriorate, die." That one paragraph took a better part of an hour. We were exhausted but at the same time thrilled.
Guyanese word of the day: learned me. Translation: teach. In a sentence it would go, "She learned me good." Have fun with it.
Love,
G&J
