While in Suriname we spent some time with the sign language congregation there. The use Suriname Sign Language (SSL) which is very similar to ASL. Even though, it differs slightly from ASL we were able to understand it for the most part and comment at their meetings. The congregation was truly warm and so hospitable. They took us to a few of the restaurants in the area (Javanese food!), out in service, and they even had us over for a world cup championship party. One evening a bethelite couple serving at the local branch had us over their room and they even gave us a tour of the branch and showed us some of the renovations that they are making to their facilities.
Hi Caitlin & Kurt, thanks for sharing your trip with us. Thats nice to see so many in the Sign Language Congregation there. Sounds like you had a great time once you got there. Ups and downs are the spice of life. You two are creating memories that will last a life time. Keep up the good work and may Jehovah continue to bless you both.....Grandma
