Going out to spend time with people in the deaf community

Early Sunday morning I woke up to go to the first location for my deaf community experience. I had made sure not to go out the night before, so I would be alert and on time. The place I had chosen to go to was the Christian Stronghold Baptist Church. The 8:30am service had an interpreter for the deaf and hard of hearing. My drive started a little late, I didn't get on the road …

…was hard to tell from everyone who was deaf and who was not. I think this was a good experience to have. To watch families have little conversations, signing to each other during church. It was interesting to watch the interpreter. I have a new respect for her, now knowing what it takes to learn sign language as a second language. I felt very welcomed at this church, by everyone, and would defiantly visit again.
