So during the tour of the Bethel in Finland we came upon a door normally closed but was open that day. The brother doing the tour was a very relaxed and funny guy. We asked what is in there and he said oh the video dept for sign language in finish. Cassie and I peeked in and said awesome or something and we saw a hand raise from over the partition waveing. I said hello! And from around the partition comes a brother w a big smile and big hand raised in greeting. We expected to just wave and cont the tour and the brother invited us in and the tour brother said sure! We'll get this, one brother was hearing and two were deaf. The hearing brother was getting instruction and advice on what signs to use so they were in practice. They were so welcoming! Most in the group knew nothing of sign language. Not even the I love you sign so it was a new experience for them. We have been struggling w Finnish and Estonian and Russian and you know what!?!? We understood each other immediately. The signs are different but enough the same we had so much fun. Cassie took off like a rocket signing with them and I followed behind. Oh man. It was a beautiful set up of a stage and equipment. I seriously never know where the blessings are gonna come from. They almost never are from where I expect and are better than I ask for.
There are pictures at the bottom of the event!
