Good music and good dinner

Sue told me Jodie Messler and her daughter were playing at Kamado's Japanese Grill tonight so we went there for dinner. We've known Jodie for a long time, and she was Kevin's music teacher for a while. It was great to see her and her daughter and others playing music together!

Good sign language party

Sue had a sign language class party at our house today. Their class has been her small group at church this semester. Everyone enjoyed talking and sharing, and it was good to have little kids running around the house. Fun!

Teaching a sign language class

Sue is enjoying teaching a sign language class this semester of groups at church. 

There are a couple of hearing impaired people that are coming to our church and she is interpreting for them. Once she was interpreting regularly she thought it would be good to help more people learn sign language so they could talk with the hearing impaired before and after church. 

She is excited to have some home schooled kids coming to the class as well as to be teaching again. She is a great connector and loves to help people this way. I'm proud of her!
