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.

Wow this is so beautiful! I can't hold my tears. The gospel is indeed true and all God's children have a place in His Church and Kingdom.

Quietly powerful ! Things spiritual are much better felt than heard. Thank you for sharing this moving video.

I don't know what they say.. but i feel the joy and happiness, Yes i feel the spirit....

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! 😊😃

It never fails even just watching this video of a baptism brings the sweet Spirit of the Lord.

All men and women are invited to the Church and called to follow Jesus, regardless of disability or language. This video helps to demonstrate as much and it is beautiful.

😭❤️ 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!

The smile when the baptized guy walked out of the door made me cry. What joy to be reborn in Christ. 💗

This is a great inspiration. I had not wondered but I am very happy to watch and listen to this. The Lord's blessings are open to all.

Thank you for this beautiful baptism ❤️ and I felt powerful spirit and peace 😊. I had tears of joy to see how Heavenly father loves 💞 everyone 🌼 .

I was recently baptized today into this amazing faith. I absolutely love this!

I remember seeing my first ASL baptism in Olathe, KS on my mission. We had a few members who were deaf in my area (Lenexa/Indian Creek Wards) and I loved learning to sign so I could converse a little with them. Thank goodness they were so patient as I struggled to communicate!

Unfortunately not, I put more emphasis on improving my Spanish and lost a lot of it though I can still say a really simple prayer.

Thanks for sharing! So grateful for the faith of this amazing young man! Thankful for the work of the obedient missionaries!

The Savior remembers all of us, is mindful of us, in all our unique, and varying backgrounds, situations, and circumstances, preparing a path and a way, for all of us, if we will just follow Him.

I Believe with all my heart ❤ that I felt the spirit of the Holly Ghost with me while this young man was baptized. I love being a member of the only true Church on the face of the earth. I'm a Latter Day Saint of the Church of Jesus Chist.

I love this! I used to work at a deaf school. And I haven’t really used sign since. And I was able to understand all of what was said. That’s makes me happy. And even more happy to have learned how ordinances are done for deaf community. I’m definitely sharing this with others. 😄

Sooo beautiful 😍 the power of the Holy Ghost felt in every language as spoken to our hearts.💕

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.

Just like everyone else, just in their own language!

I'm speechless, so very poweful...

I love this so very much, Elders!!!! I am so grateful to you or whomever posted this!!!! Yes, I have never seen a baptism for a different person/brother or sister! I hadn’t even thought of it I don’t think… So grateful that this young man was baptized, and you always knew how to sign! I know one of my son’s friend was sent on a signing mission to Seoul, Korea I think it was!

Love this!

Because of this video, my desire to study ASL grew stronger!!!

I had never wondered about this but here I am weeping of gratitude.

Tears of joy !:-)

Served in South Bay area nd we had a companionship who were assigned to the Fremont ASL branch that were within our mission boundaries. This companionship reported to someone in SL and their transfers were US wide. But they still interreacted with us and did the usual district/ zone activities, etc. great bunch of guys.

Isn't it so very reassuring that the gospel and all its blessings is for everybody? Our Heavenly Father loves and cares for us all! 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.

This is wonderful!
