A few weeks ago, I was taking tickets at the Lu'au and a tour guide came in with his group just like he had for several days but this time he said we have___ # people but we cant communicate with two of them. I said we could try to find someone that speaks their language and he said that would be a problem because not many people at the center speak their language. I asked him what language they spoke and he said ASL. I told him I could talk to them for him if he wanted me to. I followed him over to where this couple was standing and I started to talk to them in Sign Language. they told me where they were from and how long they would be in Hawaii. I asked them what they were looking for and they said they didn't know. I said, "Well you can eat here or you can eat at the Banyan Tree snack bar which is like a fast food place." They said that they would go look for the Banyan Tree. I told them if they needed anything else, to just ask for Ben, the Volunteer in a wheelchair and someone would be able to tell them how to find me. A few minutes after I finished at the Lu'au, I went back to the Mission Settlement and that same couple came walking right in to the Mission Home and I asked them what they were looking for and they said, "Oh we're lost but we think we'll just look around." I was able to help show them around a little and find their way. I know that that wasn't just a coincidence that they came to the Lu'au and that their tour guide asked if I would help them. Since then, the people at the information center asked for my card and phone number so that anytime a deaf person comes in and needs ASL, they will call me. I want to bear my testimony that I know that Heavenly Father was watching out for me and that he knew that I wanted to get the chance to use my sign language abilities to help that couple.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
