Yvonne Perry, an X-ray technician at Queen's Hospital here, had finished work late one evening when she saw four missionaries in the hospital's emergency room waiting area.
Among the missionaries was Elder Yoshihiko Kikuchi, president of the Hawaii Honolulu Mission and a member of the First Quroum of the Seventy. The missionaries were in the emergency room because another missionary had been injured in a bicycle accident. The injured missionary later made a complete recovery.As the woman looked at them, the thought came to her that these were servants of the Lord, but they were not going to have any food that night. "The Savior fed the multitude with bread and fishes," she mused. "Why can't He feed His servants in our day?"
Because she didn't have any money in her purse and no food at home, she approached a grocery store manager with her need. The manager agreed with her concerns, and told her to select some food free of charge. She picked tuna fish and rolls and returned to the hospital to make sandwiches, which she delivered to the hungry misisonaries.
"Are you sure you are not an angel?" Pres. Kikuchi asked her. "Why are you doing this?"
She replied, "Because you are servants of God and I want to do it."
As she left, Pres. Kikuchi instructed missionaries to invite her to join the Church. She went home thinking it over.
She was later taught by the missionaries and baptized by Pres. Kikuchi. She is now a member of the Nuuanu Ward, Honolulu Hawaii West Stake.
