Pat and Felicia visited with Emily and Jessalyn as well as Anna P. and Deb on Tuesday of this week. Emily and Jessalyn are working at the Carribean Christian Centre for the Deaf in Montego Bay. Anna P. and Deb are serving at the Jamaican Christian School for the Deaf in Lethe.

We ate together at The Pelican in Montego Bay, sharing experiences and highlights. All four students noted that their relationships with the children at their schools are the best parts of their service assignments. Whether playing games after school, helping students with homework, or assisting during the school day, GC students are involved in the students' lives, and their friendship is making a difference. The challenge of learning other sign systems in addition to ASL/JSL keeps them listening and learning. Emily, Deb, Anna P. and Jessalyn especially enjoyed talking with Felicia (their JSL teacher in Mandeville) about the new JSL signs they are learning.

After lunch together, Pat went with them to their schools to meet their teachers and see where they lived. Both principals told Pat how much they are appreciating the work of the students who are at their school.
