American Sign Language

So...about two years ago I was preparing to register for my first semester of classes at BYU-Provo. My dear mother was of course advising me on the different classes I should take and I hold my mother's opinion in the HIGHEST regard. She suggested that I enroll in an ASL class. Afraid of hurting her feelings I reluctantly signed up thinking I would NEVER use it. Thankfully, mothers are given the gift of what I call "The Mantle." Had I not signed up for ASL 101, I would have never learned to talk with my hands...and pretty much there is nothing cooler..except ice cream. (No pun intended...I kill myself!) Anyways, I fell deeply in love with the language and I really can't stop...I have even had a couple dreams in ASL. ALSO, had I not learned ASL I would not have my current church calling as an interpreter in my student ward. Pretty much the best calling ever! (am I allowed to have a favorite calling??) So, yeah...thought I would share my thoughts on ASL. Thanks for reading.
