    Darwin, Luis and Luis David (the 15 year old rush)

    Sunday, July 26th, 2009

    So these boys are my new project!
    All three boys are in the deaf school and do very well. I contacted Luis (middle) first about 8 months ago and he has gone from being a lifeless lump to looking forward to his study every week. Little by little he has been opening up and asking more [...]

    Progressive Teaching = Progressive Students

    Thursday, July 16th, 2009

    We are always encouraged to try and go with different friends when we conduct Bible studies, that way we can learn from each other’s teaching methods. I have to admit that oftentimes Anton and I end up together, or I go out with Jess, and what we use to reach our students generally does the [...]

    The Memorial Pick-Up Extravaganza!

    Friday, April 10th, 2009

    Anton, Jess and I wanted to do everything we could to make sure we got all the students to the Memorial that we could. So, we made a list of the 12 students that we were going to attempt to pick up, and started filling in the times we would have to pick them up [...]

    A common problem that we face mostly with [...]

    Truth Video in Multiple Sign Languages

    Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

    Many people think that sign language is universal; that is far from the truth. Many sign languages, such as ASL, are based off of other sign languages, but even those have different grammar rules, different vocabularies, and even different alphabets!
    On the Official Web-Site of the Jehovah’s Witnesses you can see the “Would You Like to [...]

    Dominican signing at it’s finest

    Thursday, October 9th, 2008

    So many people are under the conception that here in the Dominican we use ASL (American Sign Language). This is partially true since as a whole, Jehovah’s Witnesses us ASL all over the island in our preaching and meetings. What many don’t realize though is that there is a clear and distinct “Dominican Sign Language” [...]
