Hey,

 

So here I am, back in the Deaf Branch. Woo hoo. no really, I am excited. I love it here. I'm just kinda down because it's like being torn between cultures. I never thought I'd come to like the Deaf Culture. It's different and weird and I'm not Deaf...

 

Anyway, the Branch is doing very well. There are a few really solid potentials we are working with. I don't know what more we can do for them. It reminds me of the vineyard story in the book of mormon. (Jacob 5) How the Lord of the vineyard says "what could I have done more for my vineyard" or something like that. And the servant says "spare it a little longer" or something like that. It really matches perfectly with the Deaf Branch because it's not like we find new people to teach all the time. We have to keep working with the people that we already have. They've been taking the lessons forever. We just have to prune them and dig about them and dung them and nourish them and graft the natural branches to them and all that good stuff. So that they don't have to be "hewn down and cast into the fire."

 

Anyway, that's pretty much my week. . . any questions?

 

k bye
