The class: Was a Christian Elementary School. K-6 (300-400 students) I had printed and made copies for all the children of their devotions for the morning. (Galatians 6:9) I wrote the verses in SW with English captions underneath. After passing out copies I explained a few SW rules regarding the 6 possible positions of the hand. SW is very easy to learn to read. The wonderful thing is that the children remembered all day what was taught because I saw some of the children in the hearing church near our Deaf church and they were excited to show me what they had remembered. I am hoping the principal will ask me more about. I have ulterior motives of building a team of Bible translators. I know it is a big dream, but I don't live in the past, but in the possibilities.
