    As a missionary at the MTC in Provo back in 1982, the sign language Elders and foreign language Elders shared the same housing unit. One night we gathered to practice our foreign language skills by sharing our personal testimonies. One ASL Elder signed his testimony, the room was silent, no words were verbally spoken, I had no clue what his message was... and yet, the Spirit bore a burning witness of the truths that were communicated in a language unknown to many of us. This “silent” testimony was one of the first manifestations I received from the Holy Ghost in my life.

    I love sign language! It’s such a blessing for the deaf to have a way of communication.
    Wonderful story: a few years ago I was in the Salt Lake City temple doing baptisms for the dead and one brother was baptizing one of the youth in the font and he was deaf so he was using sign language to say the words in baptism. It was pretty cool!
    I’m so happy to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! 😊😃

    😭❤️ As they got up to get in the water I started crying, it’s a baptism so… tears are happy ones. It was knowing just how amazing his life it going to be!! Then the signing with sooo many missionaries were in that mission along with others. It’s a beautiful bunch of brothers and sisters he has to support him, help him, teach and share with the Holy Ghost he’s going to get next…and simply just love him! Welcome to your new Church family! Someone give him a big mom hug for me! Thank you for sharing this! Be safe everyone! I love you!

    Such a powerful and humbling gathering for those who witnessed the baptism of this young man....who through sign language was able to recieve this special ordinance and the gift of the holy ghost....the LORDS work continues to grow no matter what circumstances we have or face in our daily lives....the LORD will open up a door of opportunity to accommodate and officiate in ordinances to bring his children back home to him....so special and wonderful to see....GOD BLESS.

    On my mission in Guatemala 11 years ago, in one area, my companion and I had the blessing of teaching several hard of hearing people, and with the help of a family in the ward with a 8 yr old girl who wanted to share her testimony in her primary language- Guatemalan Sign Language, there were several baptisms- They weren't like this though.. the speakers spoke in Spanish or another indigenous language, and the 8 yr old sat next to the one who was being baptized and did all the talks, songs, prayers in sign language for that person to understand. Then she stood next to the font and signed the baptismal prayer while the person baptizing them said it out loud. And during the confirmation, she sat in a chair across from the person being confirmed and signed the confirmation, so that they never missed a moment. I learned a few things in Guatemalan Sign Language, but not enough to properly communicate something so precious.

No matter what language, what our circumstances, what state our physical being is in. And did you know that this signing is only a brief showing. This is asl american sign language
    There are other sign languages. Now if you can read this and hear what is going on, great joy but if you have challenges do not worry. With Jesus Christ All things are possible. Dont forget to pray.
