Hello Jonita and everyone -
You are writing from an ASL videotape that Deaf Missions made of the  
Bible. The signer is Patrick Graybill, and he did an excellent  
description of Jesus placing his index fingers in a Deaf man's ears to  
heal him...when he signed this story, Patrick did not have a real  
person to place his index fingers into...he had to show this story in  
ASL, without anyone else standing in front of him...

So your job is to try to write what you see Patrick do on the video...

Everyone sees things a little differently, but here is my writing of  
this position and movement, plus attached are clips from the video of  
Patrick...

How did I write this?

1. First I place the shoulders and head facing the left front corner

2. Second, I write the hands in the sign over to the left side of the  
head and shoulders, like this:
