New Special Pioneers!
By Jac | September 30, 2009
With Ron and Diana Thrasher getting reassigned to La Vega ::sniff, sniff:: we anxiously awaited hearing who would be coming to our hall. We were told that starting in October Ricardo and Walezka Lugo, a Dominican couple who had been previously serving in San Fransisco de Macoris would be coming to our hall. Ricardo’s niece, Giselle, has been in our hall for 4 years now, and Walezka served in the congregation 10 years ago, before her and Ricardo married.
Ricardo is an MTS grad, and the two of them served together in Spanish as special pioneers before getting switched to ASL in SF de Macoris. They have been married 8 years, and are an awesome, young, zealous couple.
Ron and Diana are equally awesome, but in different ways. It was really hard to say goodbye to them and the love and experience they brought to the hall, but it has been so nice to have Ricardo and Walezka with us. They have a lot of experience with the deaf, and are both skilled signers, quick thinkers, and a whole lot of fun to be around. They have helped unite the hall because they are just so easy to get along with.
They both speak just enough English for us to use it to joke around in, and when our Spanish fails sign language always comes through for us! They are so great, to fully understand it you’ll just have to come down here and meet them for yourself!
