Joseph taught me

One of my very favorite stories from the Bible is the story of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It has been my favorite for about twenty-four hours. Most likely because I read a quote about it in my Old Testament manual it talked about how Joseph is a great example of turning a terrible experience into a positive experience. He was sold into Egypt by his own brothers, BUT he turned that around and became the best slave of Potipher. Unfortunately, he was cast into prison. Once again Joseph found a way to come out on top!!!! What a great example of a good attitude and faith in the Lord. He did have the Lord to aid him just as we need the Lord's guidance when we are having tough times (and all the time) I was having a really hard time the past couple days because I recently became and ASL interpreter for a deaf boy in my ward. Don't get me wrong, I love this calling! BUT, it really stressed me out at first! I had no idea how I would accomplish this. The first time I interpreted for him I realized I was being somebody's ears. Have you ever tried to be someone's ears? It is...hard. I was so scared because I had to take what people were saying and tell him. I also realized that people talk really FAST! Slow down Joes for those talking with their hands...please!!! And I am sure that everyone would appreciate it too!!!!!!!!! I learned from Joseph that I can take a bad and scary situation and turn it into something wonderful. I am blessed to be an interpreter because it is a growing experience and a lot of fun! I just need to keep at it!
