From Chinese to ASL

Dear Friends and Family,

It has been another whirlwind of a week here in Pinnacle Mountain. Sister Benson returned home last Tuesday and I have two new companions. I am now serving with the American Sign Language Sisters, Sister Jensen and Sister Kennach. They are both wonderful. They are attempting to teach me sign language which is just slightly easier that Chinese. I am still getting the hang of it. I had my first lesson with a deaf investigator this week and I tried to sign "nice to meet you" at the end and ended up signing something that was not very sister missionary appropriate. As I said still working on it. 

 

It is a little challenging and stressful working with the ASL sisters because we are covering both their area and my area. On Sundays they have to go to their ward to interpret and so the stake has provided a returned sister missionary to be a temporary companion for Sundays. Because working two areas, with two languages wasn't stressful enough, we are going on walk week this week. It should be fun.

 

Despite all the changes and craziness of the past three weeks the Lord's work is moving forward. WE are currently working with lots of really amazing people and more elect souls keep popping out of the woodwork. The Lord is truly hastening his work here in Little Rock. One girl we are working with is named Nygee. We taught her about the restoration this week. It was so cool to see her face just light up the more we explained to her. You could tell that she was understanding and feeling the Spirit testify the truth of our words. We invited her to be baptized at the end of the lesson and she said YES! She was just beaming with the light of Christ. IT was so cool! 

 

I love getting to be a part of this great work! I love getting to see and be a part of miracles each day. It is the best!

 

Thanks as always for all the prayers and support. I have really felt them this week!

Have a wonderful week!

Love

Sister Aase
