Even more tender mercies in Laie!

I know I write about tender mercies quite a bit but the Lord just seems to watch out and put people or things in certain places when they are needed. This is a story that helped on both sides of the coin and we all got to where we needed to be in time.
 It was 1:00 pm on Thursday afternoon Mar 9 and I answered a call from Pam Gunnell on my phone. I knew she was coming to Hawaii and was excited to hear from her, also. She said that her and her parents (the Bybee's) were at the temple in Laie and asked how to get to the PCC. I thought she was coming for the afternoon.

 I told her I would come pick her up and bring her over. When I got there she said that they had hired an Uber driver to bring them to Laie to go to the temple but that wouldn't come and get them so they were kind of stuck here. They were going to catch the bus at the PCC and go back to Waikiki Beach. The catch was that they wanted to go whale watching at 2:30 and the bus takes about 2 hours after it has to stop 2 or 3 times at every city. I offered to drive them back to Waikiki but didn't think we would ever be able to make it in time. I knew we could make it to the Honolulu but the traffic is horrendous once you get there and I had never driven it before. I told Pam's mom and dad to pray for me or I wouldn't make it.
My phone, maps, also, had not been working correctly since I arrived. Siri would get me started and then stop talking. Pam worked on it as I was driving and she got it to start working. Yea, I could navigate my way through the streets of Honolulu which we did. Siri got us to Waikiki with a minute or two to spare, which was the first miracle. The driver was there already and whisked them away on their new adventure.
I was happy to help and enjoyed being with them. I love seeing people from home.
 Well, I drove to a park and set Siri to take me home and to get out of Honolulu. The streets are crazy there if you don't know what you are doing. Siri did a good job, I wasn't a bit nervous and I was on my way home. I reached Koneohe and decided to stop at McDonalds for a drink and a bite to eat. Siri was still trying to get me back on the highway so I knew she was still working. I went in to got the drink and came back. I did know the way home from there but looked down at my phone and she had quit talking and I couldn't get her to navigate again. I tried several times because I knew I would need it again on Sat. NO, GO! She wouldn't work.
 On Sat I took her to the Verizon store and they had to completely reset it because Maurice couldn't get her to work, either. The tender mercy, (I call it a miracle) was that the Lord kept her talking until I could get to where I could find my way and wasn't nervous driving home by myself. I know we are protected while here on this island and when I need Him the most.

I met up with Pam again on Sat while they were at the  PCC.   I loved seeing them again and enjoyed meeting her mom and dad. Their granddaughter is married to my cousin Lavon's grandson. I keep saying it is a small world, after all and the Lord looks after us  with His many tender mercies.
