VRI is Approved Deaf - Hearing Relationship Steve has several communication tools under his control, including email, Facebook, video phones, VRS (Video Relay Service), and me. He has now added VRI (Video Remote Interpreting) for church related communication. From what I understand, the service has a cost if we use the company’s interpreters. It is free if we use a volunteer interpreter […] Fri, Jul 25 2014 Bishop’s Storehouse Deaf - Hearing Relationship Steve and I make our way into the Bishop’s Storehouse and are greeted by smiling and friendly faces. I converse with the receptionist while Steve watches. I know he wants to know what we are saying, but it is nearly impossible for me to talk to someone and interpret for him at the same time. […] Fri, Jul 25 2014 If it Weren’t for Cosmic Forces, We Wouldn’t... Deaf - Hearing Relationship I use the term “Cosmic Forces†for those of you who may not believe in the Spirit. I for one believe that everything happens for a Divine reason, even when I follow along kicking and screaming. In the previous post entitled Universal Ignorance I mentioned that “Steve is fortunate to have one wonderful lady, same age […] Fri, Jul 25 2014 VRI is Approved Deaf - Hearing Relationship Steve has several communication tools under his control, including email, Facebook, video phones, VRS (Video Relay Service), and me.

In the previous post entitled Universal Ignorance I mentioned that “Steve is fortunate to have one wonderful lady, same age [...] Sat, Mar 05 2011 I Don’t Have Time Deaf - Hearing Relationship I have heard this excuse over and over. I have used it myself on occasion. It usually means “Learning Sign Language is not on my priority list”. It can also mean: “I don’t want to do it.” “I am afraid to do it.” “It’s too hard to do.” “It looks like too much work.” “I [...] Mon, Feb 28 2011 Universal Ignorance? Deaf - Hearing Relationship Steve and I are no longer members of the Deaf ward (congregation). It is a long story that I won’t get into on this blog, but I will say I am not happy about it. Even though I could not understand half of the people in the ward, I felt their warmth and love. The [...] Sun, Jan 16 2011 Learning Sign Language at Any Age Deaf - Hearing Relationship NBC does not include captions on their internet news stories, so I created them for this video. Do you think if I send the file to them, they will pay me for it? These parents are willing to pay $180 to learn how to sign. There are many resources and ways in which we can [...] Tue, Dec 28 2010 It’s Been a Year Deaf - Hearing Relationship ...since I've written anything in this blog. Why? Because the people it is intended for (my family) were not reading it. They are all on Facebook! So I have moved my educational efforts there. I browsed through this blog to refresh my memory about what I have written in the past, and realized I need [...] Tue, Jan 05 2010 What I Hate About “Interpreting” Deaf - Hearing Relationship I put interpreting into quotes because I am using that term very loosely in this story. Put yourself in my shoes. A service man comes to the house two hours earlier than scheduled to fix the water softener. You are trying to prepare lunch. You feel confident that your husband is capable of learning what is wrong [...] Wed, Dec 31 2008 Sign or Speak? Deaf - Hearing Relationship Sunday, Sept. 7 - Steve and I are asked to deliver messages for Sacrament Meeting in the Deaf Ward. Whether or not this is going to happen, I am not sure yet. Did I forget to mention in this blog that we are now officially members of the Salt Lake Deaf 1st Ward? Even though we [...] Sun, Oct 05 2008 Game Night at the Deaf Center Deaf - Hearing Relationship Our latest assignment for my ASL class is to attend “Game Night” at the Deaf Center, and then write a paper about our experiences. Here is mine. At 5:30 p.m., I arrive at the Deaf Center to find a small group of people in the Lounge who are playing a card game. Since there is no [...] Sat, Sep 20 2008 Learning ASL Through the Book of Mormon Deaf - Hearing Relationship It was one year ago when I decided to follow in the footsteps of our sweet return missionary interpreter, Rachel, who told me that the prophet promised that if we read the entire Book of Mormon in another language, we would have that language mastered. (See last paragraph of Awareness is Bliss.) Well, I have finally [...] Sat, Aug 30 2008 A Demonstration in Patience Deaf - Hearing Relationship The required reading for my second ASL class at the Salt Lake Community College is When the Mind Hears: A History of the Deaf by Harlan Lane. The first chapter is the story of Laurent Clerc’s early childhood. His parents, after discovering he is deaf and not knowing what to do with him, send him [...] Sun, Aug 24 2008 Bearing My Testimony in the Deaf Ward Deaf - Hearing Relationship Sunday, August 3: I always know when I am suppose to bear my testimony in Church. I get the idea in my head sometimes days in advance of Fast and Testimony Meeting, and no matter how hard I try to put it out of my mind, it won’t go away. This time I not only want [...] Fri, Aug 08 2008 “Show and Tell” for ASL Students Deaf - Hearing Relationship This was my “Show and Tell” story for my first ASL class at the Salt Lake Community College. I received 88 out of 100 points for my efforts. I was docked for grammar (which makes sense since I am still in Signed English mode), fingerspelling clarity, and facial expressions. My instructor loved the story though. [...] Sun, Jul 27 2008 ASL Class Deaf - Hearing Relationship Ok, so we are canceling our little ASL class at the church at least for the duration of the summer. It was suggested we have the class twice a month rather than every week, but with only two people showing up, it did not seem worth it. I do not know if we will try [...] Wed, Jul 02 2008 Even Old Ladies Can Learn ASL
