you just 1 million meat. :) Keep up the good work, man! Jehovah will reward you much better than I ever could. You're selfless and loving toward your brothers and sisters. You obviously have g...

Thanks man that's totally not why I wrote this but that's cool anyway. lol. Yeah it was hard at first but Jehovah so far has really been blessing my efforts. I find myself understanding more and more and really starting to feel more comfortable signing. I really need to work on my facial expressions though because that's a big part of ASL.

Thanks man.

my pleasure. I know you didn't write it for a reward.

One time I was in a fast food restaurant (yuck), but I saw these two kids walk in, and one was signing and the other was talking. It was amazing, they were laughing and having a good time. My heart went out to them. They NEEDED the truth! They needed to know that although they may have these problems now, they will be healed by our loving creator. I didn't know how to speak to them, though...so I didn't. I went out to my car...and struggled. Then I grabbed a pen, wrote a quick message on a New World Track, and a "Would you like to study the Bible?" tract, said a prayer, and ran back in. I introduced myself, got their names, and handed them the tracts. That's what made me want to learn another language (maybe even ASL one day).

tract dude, not track.

i'm a nitpicker okay???

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder ·

lol, actually I usually am nitpicky about that, too. Totally did not mean to write track. So sorry (but I"m not going to fix it to spite you)

besides I wrote tract more than I wrote track!

Now that is a good example of boldly preaching no matter what may seem to be in your way. That's impressive that you did that. Who knows that may have started something.

I really hope so. Seed planted. They were really nice kids, too.

It's amazing the growth the sign language field has seen over the past couple of years.

good quick thinking toddy. it's funny, you never know what holy spirit can be motivating you to do

It just goes to show that you should always be prepared to give a witness--have a Bible and literature with you ALWAYS.

that is SO true....i try to keep some with me in my purse or car cause you never know.

perrin perrinOG 2004 ·

Yeah I always keep literature in my car for that same reason.
